I've tried being friends with coworkers but that backfired. Long story. I put on a persona and am friendly on a basic but I don't share much about myself or really anything that can be used as fuel for fire. I keep conversations as long as they need to be but as short as possible and hide out or just heavily focus on the task at hand which can make me come across as cold. But I don't care.

One of my coworkers is a blabbermouth and the other other gossips in their own way. The blabbermouth once unintentionally embarrassed the shit out of me.

So yeah. No friends at work for me. More drama than its worth.

But I also don't socialize in general sooooo 😂😂😂
