It's a mistake to have mostly colleagues as your friends in the world...
'Work' as your medium can be surprisingly temporary when one day you are given leave or leave of your own accord (unhappiness, lack of change etc).
'Work' as your vehicle and medium for friendship can be often superficial, boxed in and limited in breaking the barriers of any sterilised-design workplaces and state-sanctioned templates of atmosphere.
Ironically the design for change, is not to change things.
Colleagues can be nice but not necessarily long-term or for the long-term. Sometimes when the job stops so does your friendship.
So I'm not saying: don't try - but do look for more purpose made or genuine friendship and spaces... and if not make space at home or wherever you can for some real talk!
