> The sounds and vibe of the office have work associations in my brain.

You’ll find that once you’re not used to that anymore, reaclimating to it will be a nightmare (and very stressful)

From my experience it’s best to keep coworkers and friends in separate circles. Most of your coworkers aren’t truly your friends and have their own personal motives. You compete against them during performance reviews and promotions. It’s difficult to determine if you can trust or confide in any coworkers. Stick with true friends you can confide in and have healthy relationships with.

I've made some really great friends in the workplace. Considering how much time you spend working, there's nothing wrong with cultivating relationships there, and often those relationships can outlive the job.

I found that no, that's not the case at all. I'm very relaxed now that I'm finally back in an office. I was very stressed working from home.
