The Realization that Coworkers arent Real Friends Hits Hard

r/

I’m now starting to realize this after entering the workforce for a few years. It’s hard to accept this, and yes, it hurts. Especially since work was supposed to replace school, and in school, you actually had real friends.

    It’s okay. 🌻 Some of us find out much later and it always hurts because you could be so genuine and sweet and others will snitch behind your back or not invite you to things or communicate poorly with you. It’s emotionally repulsive. I have to work at night just so that i can work more alone. It can get really lonely but it is mentally exhausting to kiss ass to people just so that they don’t try and attack you all the time. hugs

    Honestly it depends on where you work and the type of people you meet. Some will be awful, some will be neutral and some will be amazing.

    All of my closest friends now are people I used to work with, some from almost 20 years ago.
