As for the more general advice of keeping to yourself at work, I disagree. I've made friends with nearly all of my co-workers, and we often discuss things that have nothing to do with work. It makes the time pass a lot faster, if nothing else. Of course, that depends on your co-workers.

I agree. No point in being involved with catty coworkers. Yeah they aren’t very nice, not worth my time. And in terms of keeping to yourself, that’s good that you can talk about topics that are unrelated to work. I wish I could do that. Trust me, I tried. When the day comes for me to get a new job which won’t be long, maybe I’ll be able to talk to others about non-work related topics without feeling excluded or feeling like I’m being talked about. Yeah there will always be gossip but some places are worse than others.
