[quote=Anonymous]Once I retired, most of my work friends just acted like I'd died. It was as if I'd betrayed a nation even though any one of them would gladly quit in a heart beat. At one lunch (I'd arranged after 1 1/2 year of asking) with my closest friend there, she was talking about new employees that had been hired, and mentioned one in particular, saying " She's my new you." She had become a very close friend to me, so I thought, as she went through serious work issues, marriage and children problems. I included her in my family celebrations. We talked about everything, and our parents had died during this time and we were there together for each other. Work was very stressful and we supported each other. That's when I realized some friends are just trauma bonds, or people who use others as support. It wasn't really friendship. I do have life long friends, and other friends, but I'm now more wary of people going forward. [/quote]
