Many of us find that the best place to make friends is at work.  Why is the workplace so often a good place for friendship?   

One reason is that our workplace is the place where we spend a good part of our waking hours.  Sometimes we see our coworkers more than we see our family members.  As we see the same people day after day, and as we interact with them, we gradually reveal a bit more of our personalities. 

For many of us, the place where we work is the single best source of finding compatible people we can become friends with.  Of course, not all of the people we work with will become close friends of ours, but it is very likely that among the dozens of people we interact with on a daily basis, we will find commonality and friendship with some of them.  Therefore we often end up making friendships with our coworkers.

Those people who we enjoy, we will tend to spend more time with.  Those people who are not compatible with us are the people we will tend to avoid as much as possible.

As we spend time together, we are often bound by working on the same goals.  We overcome difficulties together, and this gives us something in common.  We may have frequent occasions when we can chit chat with each other about our lives outside the workplace.  This helps us to see each other as more human, and it enhances the bonds of possible friendship.

Remember however, you are in a work environment, and not in your own home.  Someone else is paying for your time and someone else is expecting you to be working.  Not all workers want to get close to you, especially if they don’t work in the same area that you do.  It’s best not to overburden co-workers with your problems unless you are already very good friends.

During the course of a working day, we often get the chance to exchange many jokes together, and sometimes we even have to rely on our co-workers to get us through a period when we are having problems. 

In fact, I would say, if you can’t find any friends at the place you work, perhaps you should consider working somewhere else!
