>be me>get fired from job>go pick up my stuff>see this coworker who was kinda of a friend>we had our differences but we did have fun and he taught me a lot>say hi pretend like nothing's happening>I pretend like nothings happening>he says hi laughing: what a miracle you're this early>I say yeah why you always so early>he laughs>i pick my stuff and pretend like Im coming back>he texts me asking why I'm leaving with all my stuff>I say boss will explain everything>he asks again what happened>I say I got fired>he says really?That was the last interaction I had with this pal. I felt kinda shitty desu, I should've at least said goodbye properly. This was sad
>>84165694"Work friends" are usually just that, friends specifically for work, and you can't count on them for anything else.
>>84165694I had a depression/anxiety breakdown and stopped going in to my last job, and all the coworkers I thought were friends never even checked in with me once to make sure I didn't kill myself or something. So you're lucky, that might've actually been a friend friend instead of what >>84165728 said (which is otherwise usually the case)As for me, I'm back to being a NEET full time and when my savings run out in a decade or so I'll probably unironically suduko, being alive an trying to maintain relationships as a mentally ill autist is a fool's errand
>>84165747Dont think I considered him a friend but he sure was nicer than most. He was the only one who wasnt an asshole really
>>84165728Pretty much this. Youre there to work. If you dont hangout or socialize outside of work or work social functions then they are a coworker and not a friend.
>>84165784Yeah that's why I said kinda.
