Very few (but not zero!) of my meaningful relations have been through work.
- johnnyanmac 4y agomeanwhile all my post college relations have been through work and I've struggled to try and make friends outside of work. Unironic advice seems to be to make friends with co-workers. And meetups, which I have yet to form a signifigant bond at (when most people flake after 1-2 sessions and sessions are monthly, I can't blame them).
- puckerup44 4y agoThis is so sad to hear and it's insane how many people on HN are against the idea of forming friendships at work. Ya'll really are socially inept.
- sanderjd 4y agoI think you misunderstand. It's the opposite; it's that our non-work relationships are more meaningful, not that we are unable to form friendships at work. Way too many people (mostly when young) fall into this trap of making their work their life. Don't be one of those people!
- scott_w 4y agoNobody is against it. People are just reflecting their lived experience. What’s sad and socially inept is that you’re demonstrating no ability to empathise with that.
