Do you really have to find your own circle of friends at work?

at the office, I noticed some of my officemates tend to find their own circle of friends.. they usually plan to eat lunch together, go home together, hang out together on their day offs, and they work together.. I don't really get it to think that we have an extremely dynamic work schedules and long hours at the office, and pretty much we've seen too much of each other every day of our lives.. its not that I'm the loner type in the office, I'm actually friends to everyone of them but I don't join their cliques and neither create one of my own, I only get along with their circle but never permantently stays, we're friends at work even outside but I also have other friends of my own who I usually miss hanging out with.. and I actually prefer to hang out with them than my officemates coz we always see each other at work all the time.. is it just me or is having your own circle of friends in the office really important?

Well maybe they're just like you it so happens that their so-called 'circle of friends' are within the office and yours are somewhere outside. If you say you also get along with them then its just fine, you're friends and that's how it matters. It may not be as intimate as the ones you have outside but you are a friend with healthy relations with your co-officemates. Cheer up!

I think they have not any good friends without office or their co-workers are their best friends. The second always work for me. I am a student and now my best friends comes from my varsity. Before varsity my close friends were school. I think people tend to do this because when I meet with some people everyday, that people made a great effect on me & I always feel easier to stay with them. That might be work for your co-workers! Happy day.
