IMO you shouldn't be yourself at work. Develop a work personality that aligns with your internal ethical compass. Keep your private life private, and do your job as a true professional would.
- tluyben2 5y agoSounds tiring. Do you enjoy that?

- notreallyserio 5y agoI can't speak for totalZero but I feel the same way. I am not at work to make lifelong friends, I am working so I can eventually retire early and do what I really want (that doesn't have any opportunity to earn income). I don't find it tiring. I do the same thing with my family and more so my spouse's family, who are very religious. I'm used to it.
- totalZero 5y agoNot even remotely. But I love what I do for a living.
- 91bananas 5y agoI also live this life. I let them in on some personal stuff, basically the stuff I am willing to post on other social networks. But nothing beyond that. It is not tiring at all. I think a lot of us have been doing this for a long portion of our lives, think of if you've attempted to keep any sense of anonymity or privacy to any facet of your real life versus your online persona(s).
- tluyben2 5y agoInteresting; so privacy and others for the politics. I did it for a few years when I started working decades ago, found it tiring and never did it again. It rapidly separates like minded people from people who do not like me and that is almost always reciprocal without knowing them. Privacy is interesting; I cannot imagine how you work with people every day 8 hours and then have shields up!
