I don't go out of my way to be chatty. There are a few colleagues I get along with wonderfully and am happy to smalltalk with. Others I just don't seem to vibe with and don't talk to about anything that isn't work-related. I don't think it matters much one way or another as long as you're able to get your work done and communicate respectfully as needed.
Yeah I feel like if people want to chat to me I’ll happily oblige but I’m almost never going to go out of my way to chat first.
It’s nice to have mostly friendly working relationships, but I don’t want to force it either and make it weird. I’m more of a head-down worker, need to have absolute focus, too, so that doesn’t help finding time to talk.
Yeah I’m happy to get on with my work but it can get lonely without some chatter.
I don’t go out of my way but I like to chat. At the end of the day, I’m not at work to make loads of new friends, work is the priority really.
Yeah true. I have a good friend group I’m not dying for more.
If you want to get to know them and build a relationship then maybe start with small talk and see how they respond.
Yeah true, I’m not sure it’s someone I care to get to know but it’s always nice to meet more people.
