"Learn the difference between friendly and friends". Some of the best advice i've ever been given. I'm cordial with all coworkers, friendly with some but never friends. I don't speak to them outside of work, I don't go to after work socials. I don't text or call them unless it's work related. They know the absolute bare minimum about my life.

Redditors love this kind of shit while posting daily about the death of social relationships

Yep this is reddit. This place is deeply anti social while dying inside because they have zero connections with people. I’m not surprised this was upvoted to 17k.

Not in my view. I have lots of health friendships outside of work. Just not coworkers.
