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.

  • I think I used to be quite naive and consider some of them to be genuine friendships.  But no.  Given that I was constantly masking and also that, with every reorganisation we were pitted against each other for a reduced number of jobs, the circumstances weren't really conducive. 

    I generally find office environments to be too anxiety inducing and judgemental (almost as if I'm on trial all the time).  I feel as though I'm allergic to the corporate culture, which drastically reduces the chances of fitting in and making friends.
