It's hard to spend 8h/day for most of your adult life in a given environment and pretend you're not a social creature at the same time.

- willcipriano 3y agoI think a lot of people only had acquaintances and confuse that with friendship. Building real friendships at work is rare.
- kurthr 3y agoWeird, I haven't worked there in 5 years and still get together with different folks once every few months to once a week. Great way to find a new job too! One should not forget that most psychologists and psychiatrists are borderline nut jobs. OK that's just personal experience, but ask anyone who knows these people... crazy drama follows them everywhere. Just sayin'.
- cybrox 3y agoYou don't build real friendships at work, yes. But you can definitely meet people at work that you end up building a real friendship with outside of work.
- bravetraveler 3y agoIt's tough to grade, but I agree. Of all of the relationships I've built at work, maybe three qualified as true friends. The rest: opportunists, snakes, or at best, fair-weather friends. Nowadays... I "show up" (get online), do my work, leave. I prefer it this way. Work has gross incentives for developing friendships. Another version of not shitting where I eat
