Both you seem… normal. Neither positions are unreasonable. Consider that OP’s personality could be very different from yours - maybe they have a very strong and closed circle of established friendships, or a preference to keep the personal life unattached from the professional life.
Who knows! But it’s not extreme.
- bradlys 5y agoBeing excited to never meet a colleague in person again is definitely an extreme. It is 100% abnormal. Please don’t act like someone who claims to be extroverted but suddenly is like - “yeah, my colleagues? Fuck those dudes. I hope I never see them in person! Thank baby Jesus!” Short of working at only toxic companies - this is really abnormal behavior. No one I know who is extroverted, isn’t live or die by FIRE, and works with good people wants to be WFH forever and never see a colleague in person again. “Ah, yeah, I spend 40+ hours a week with these people and they’re great people and I love people but fuuuuuuck them.” Nope - doesn’t add up. Try again!
- FredPret 5y agoI’m so sorry I don’t meet your lofty standards of colleague-love. Now imagine if you and I happened to work for the same company, and had cubicles next to each other. Wouldn’t it be nicer to spend those 40 hours working next to the people you love? Why forced socialization with people you don’t get to pick?
