    I’m not at work to make friends. I’m at work to make enough money to survive.

      Ill never understand anything other than this. Like im not an asshole to my coworkers, I still talk to them from time to time, but ultimately im at work to make the green paper, I just want to do my thing and leave that hell.

        Right, I’m nice to them. I don’t refuse to talk to them at all, but I’m just not there to socialize. I’m not interested in talking about my kid or sports or movies or anything like that with people at work. You have to walk on eggshells anyway in case you say something that offends someone’s political or social sensibilities. And I live in Indiana, which means I can’t say the things I want to say when some asshole Republican in the office doesn’t care about work etiquette. So I just keep my earbuds in.

      Yup. You can make friends at work but the ability to make friends should be beyond people who you are forced to interact with for survival.
