WFH was the best thing that happened for me because I absolutely do not like to socialize with co-workers.

I came from work cultures with low boundaries related with personal interactions that sometimes I felt permanently in a state of acting.

No, I do not want drinks after work; I will go to the indoor climbing with my friends.

No, I do not want know about the last episode of <Hyped TV show in some streaming>; I will watch my soccer team playing.

No, I do not want to notice your smell if you bought the last Carolina Herrera or if you lack of hygiene and do not use deodorant and took 1h30m in the subway/bus to come to office; I just want to work in my porch breathing fresh and clean air.

The idea of having relationships in workplace is overestimated. Most of the time os just some tool for people show their Machiavellian traits and trying to drag you in office politics. Becky from legal has a new car? I do not care. Kevin from sales have some affair at work? Not interested.

6PM I just shutdown my computer and go to live my life.
