Title: Friends
Post by: melodylogan45 on December 10, 2018, 04:58:51 am
Would you say that you have a lot of friends at work that you can trust? Do you get together with them after work for dinner ? Do you chat about things that get on your nerves whether at work or home?

Overall I would say "friends in the workplace" do not exist. Most people are out for themselves and even if you do not know it they are talking about you or telling on you.

90% of the friends I have are people I've worked with.

I have "friends" that I get along well with at work.  But we've never gotten together outside of work.  We probably wouldn't even have anything to talk about.LOL  8)

I have two best friends, one of them i met at work.  We have been best friends for over 10 years, and both our families have become one spending holidays together.

Not many friends to hang with, but I meet some old friends at lunch occasionally. Seems like everyone gets sweeter with age.  :in-love:

My husband and I own our own business and thus work together every day.  He is my best and only friend at work. 

Everyone else who works for us are work associates only.  Even though my husband and I are very friendly toward our employees, they are not our friends.  Our association with them is very limited.

I do have friends I trust.   They're not from work.  They're lifelong friends.

I did not  go out with the people I worked  with except for  a couple of times. One I took some young women out for a short time one night. I wanted  my son to meet some of them. He lived 400 miles away and didn't know anyone where I worked and he liked to go out once a while and I would go with him. But  felt he needed some one his age to go with. So he  met the 4 young women one night with me. Lo and behold one young  lady caught his eye and 7 months  later they got married. I  hoped  the  2 of them would hit it off. she is still like a daughter even though my  son has been gone  18 years now. And the young man she married 5 years ago is my proxy son. Love him as much as  I loved her.

I have a small circle of "close" friends and a very large circle of people I see often, but I wouldn't necessarily socialize with them or tell them intimate details about my life.

There are different types of friends. There are site-specific friends; those people you hang out with at work or school, but never anywhere else, etc. Of course, it can always transition to another level of friendship over time.

There are acquaintances. Many people like to think they have so many friends, when in all actuality, they are counting friendly acquaintances.

All you really need is one good friend. I have had the same best friend for 28 years. I can call him in the middle of the night to come and look at my pet, and I have done similar for him.

We are more like family than anyone I am related to because we chose each other.

I would say that most of my friends are from work and very trustworthy    a group of 8 or 10 of us would go to dinner at least once a month even after we were retired  and I also have church friends and neighbors before I moved

Exactly. You have work friends, church friends, associate friends, and REAL friends.

No, I can honestly say that I do not have a lot of friends at work that are my "trustables". That description is for close family friends only.

I never trust the people who I have worked with. You think that they are your friend and then you find out later who they really are.  >:(
