I've never felt this way in the past but I just feel no affinity towards work colleagues in my job that I started 3 months ago. Has anyone else been this way?
If I never saw them again I couldn't care less |

Why do you think that is? |

I had a connection with all of my colleagues but that has changed after lockdown. Now it is only a few of them. I should have been out with them today but I didn't go because I can't be bothered to listen to their shite. |

"I jump into bed with one of my work colleagues every night... So no 
Whose turn is it tomorrow night?
I stick with the same work colleague nightly  "
favouritism |

I think some people thrive and what's more need a certain social table to sit at. It gives them ballast, comfort and and some meaning to all this.
I'm a loner, always have been. I'm happy that way too. I have few possessions or friends and I'm very aware how quick our visit here is.
I do make lots of magical "connections" along the way but nothing deep and meaningful. I might wake up tomorrow and make plans to go see what living in Morroco is like, or see how far I can get in a boat.
You have to listen to that uneasy feeling at times and not worry when it challenges life's "norms' it's very often looking out for you.

I never feel like I'm friends with colleagues. I will always have a laugh and a chat etc but don't ever add on social media or expect to stay in contact with anyone if I leave. Maybe I'm just weird |

I'm a Supervisor so no, my work relationships don't go deep I have empathy and I'm supportive. But I can't be an objective leader if I'm too close because how so you pull back when people need pulling up
I won't accept social media requests or socialise with them either other than at work partys

I knew a football manager once who wouldn't have a drink with the team cause if he was bought a pint by one of the players , that player would be expecting to play next week ...always keep your friends and work separate.  |

My work colleagues are exactly that. I rarely make "friends" with work colleagues and dont generally stay in touch. You cant choose who you work with usually, so I just do my best to get along with everyone |

I have one friend at work who I get on really well with. The other 4 I could quite happily live without. Nothing in common what so ever. Always had friends I have kept after switching jobs but not this bunch |

Nope, I've really liked the teams I worked with in both of the places I worked so in a way, I've been lucky. Although they're also the reason I've been in no rush to leave despite the work being shit.
What is it you don't like about them OP? |

To me work is the same as any other part of life, there are people that I get along with, and people that I don't...the only thing is that I have to be in contact with them and be nice to them at work or I get in trouble with HR  |

Not just work. I know lots of people who I can have a good laugh with, get on with in work or out but there are very very few in my life I would be genuinely hurt to loose.
I don't know if it's my natural personality or growing up in a sect that strongly discouraged any friendship with outsiders but I find I just don't form lasting friendships with anyone.
I'm not bothered by this - it doesn't seem to matter really.
