A job would feel a lot longer if I wasn't on friendly terms with my coworkers

    You can be friendly without being actual friends. I prefer not to make actual friends at work, the exception being once I'm no longer working with I'm more likely to spend time with them socially. I never understand why people get so upset when you don't want to be friends; they interpret that as "you must hate me if you don't want to be my friend". No, I just have a finite amount of time and energy for friends.

    My performance is not based on friendship stats like some kind of dating sim.

    Also, sometimes I dont want the psychic weight of having to take my friend over the coals for violating safety procedure. I also dont want my friend doing overtime he really doesnt want to do because he knows I need it done. Work is work and work is purely transactional.

    I can absolutely be friends, but if you cant accept that its entirely seperate to work. We arent.
