"Did you already realize that your coworkers are not your friends?": The viral advice from a Latina in the U.S

On TikTok, BibeybiBaez didn't mince words when she warned that at work, "those people are not your friends." The creator advised to just go to work and avoid sharing personal problems or dramas with colleagues. In her video, which has already garnered 27.7K likes and over 5200 shares, she emphasizes that office colleagues are not trustworthy: "You go to work, you got paid, go home," she stated clearly.

For many, avoiding close connections seems to be the only solution: "I don't accept requests from coworkers; you have to be careful"; "And I don't add them on social media either." There were also those who defended the approach of keeping everything under control: "People label you a hypocrite when you set boundaries at work because they are used to airing their personal matters," noted one user.

Still, not everyone thinks the same way; some have claimed to have made good friendships at work, but they acknowledge that it depends on knowing who to talk to: "I have made good friends at work; it's about knowing who to approach and who not to, but I understand their point."

On the other hand, there are those who prefer to keep their distance, believing that excessive confidence is a mistake: "At work, my personal problems and situations...
