hmmmm,since im just new hired in my workplace right now, i dont have this so called close friends yet. and i really want to have one, and im still searching LOL. i prefer to have close friend in my workplace so that i have somebody to go with, like going outside to eat, someone i can talk to. because its hard to stay in one place especially when were new, its like boring and we dont have friends then. so, what i did not is that i talked to them, knowing them slowly. hahahaha

I do have one now, because he's the one whom pulled me in, to work alongside with him.. lol =D It's good to have a close fren during work, so that one wont be bored.. PLus, it's easier to pass time, when there's someone to talk to, and someone to stand up for us, in anything goes wrong etc ^_^ hehe Hope that u will find your close fren in your workplace soon ^_^ Which i believe, isn't a difficult task for u.. haha =D

Good morning~ I think you're wise to get to know people slowly in the workplace. It's nice to have friends at work; but I would not rush into getting really close to people at work. If you do, people at work can know your personal business; and you may not want them to know your personal affairs. That said, I certainly do not mean that you can not trust anyone at work--only that it's a good idea to take your time getting to know people there. Do you have other places where you can get to know people? Do you attend church anywhere? That can be a great place to make friends. And oftimes, churches have groups where you can get to know people--singles groups for single people, divorced groups for divorcees, widows' groups, seniors, married groups, etc. I thought I'd throw this out as a suggestion for you. I hope it's helpful. I wish you well and hope that your new job works out great for you! Have a great day!

i am close to most of my co-workers here in the office. i wanted to be closed to them or they are the ones who get closer to me. maybe, because i know how the entire office runs and they need my assistance, with computers, most of the time. even our bosses here are closed to me, or i am closed to them.

actually it is so hard to find a close friend in a workplace. you dont know if they are true to you or not. in my job i only got 3 close friends that i can mention. they are the one who join me to eat, whom i can talk about my problems and about my lovelife. i hope that you can find a close friend of yours in your job.
