Is your work, a part of your (social) life?

Plenty of people at my work get together outside of it. There are people at work who are better friends with some than others. For me personally, while I don't go the crazy parties I do hang out with like two people outside of work. One of them is my workout buddy, the other is just a cool girl. But yeah I think it's totally normal to mix your work life with your social life. You make friends through work and as a result you find new people to bond and hang out with. Like I said, I see it a lot at my work.

Most of your friends (not necessarily your best friends, but your quite good friends) are going to be the same people you spend most of your time with. When you're in school, most of your friends are drawn from your classmates. You see them often and are forced, to a certain extent, to interact with them. That means you get to know them whether you like it or not, and you are more likely to become friends. Work is the same sort of scenario, I imagine especially so if you work full-time in a tight environment with the same colleagues every day.

That's totally normal. I love my job and the people that I work with and I consider them my friends.

Wouldn't that give you some sort of enjoyment at work? Would it not make you feel like your life has some sort of meaning and give you a fragment of hope and something to look forward to, day to day in your shit job where everything you do is shit and you get paid shit for taking a heavy washing machine load of shit? If people didn't have friends at work we would see our jobs only as they truly are - shit.

The people I work with are under 5, so I don't socialise with them outside of work. I have, in the past, hung out with the parents. It's a little odd. I may be going to comedy shows with some of the current parents in the next month. I hope it's not too awkward. It's not something I make a habit of.

My work turned into my social life strangely enough. The people i hang out with all used to or still do work with me.
