I really, really hate that I have to go back to work. Been on leave for five months because of...

This is the problem that happened after the quarantine lockdowns and why some businesses have such a problem getting employees that will stay.

It can be both eye-opening and painful to think someone is your friend, only to find the opposite is true.

That's probably not strictly true - people have limits in what what they can do.

As tiring as it is, I like the work routine, helps keep my mind distracted from other problems...

But no, they've made it pretty clear that we're just coworkers.

It's good! They gave you a good lesson. Now, you know how to thoroughly professional with people.😇

Friends at job is a joke now. Everywhere I have worked, I have been a lone wolf (by choice). I see nothing wrong in it. The ones who address themselves as 'friends' are ready to back-stab each other the moment they get the chance to do so.

I hope it goes smoothly when you resume your job. 🤞🙏😊☺️ And I would look for people that enjoy doing similar things as you instead of just people that you share your work day with. It’s a double edged sword to be friends with your coworkers but maybe it’ll change in time. I hope for whatever is best for you.

I hate the fact almost all my friendships in life are work related. When you want to dissociate from work it's hard

I hope the family stuff is ok ☹️

Perhaps you might try an amusing prank to endear yourself to your coworkers, such as putting lysergic acid diethylamide in the water cooler?

I mean, technically, you don't have to go back.
