colleagues

My coworkers are not my friends.

I know they aren’t but it hurts.

My workmates are my only mates and I used to think my teammates were actually my friends. 

That we were bunch of friends because we spend most of the day together, eat together, work together. 

Maybe they are friends, just not to me.

Laughing together, talking together, drinking after work together.

It makes me sad. Why I even care?

I’ll be fine.

  • Agree. Same with managers. I hate overly-friendly managers.

    You're not my friend, you're my manager.

    I have a very strict line on who I call a friend. I have one friend at work, she is my age and we hang out outside of work.

    Other than her I wouldn't call any of them friends, merely acquaintances that I happen to have to see every day.
