    Of course, key word is 'work' friends. They are not your buddies, or confidantes. We all want to feel a connection to the people we spend time with, however, I also feel it shouldn't go deeper than sharing past your pets. Work is work with coworkers, friends are friends that you don't work with. This is will help with feeling a balance. IMO

    I've had people I work with that I cared for deeply, so if that's what you mean, then yes. If you are talking about people I hang out with during non-work time, then no. I have always tried to separate my home and work life.
