I don't like to ask personal questions at work unless the person offers to talk about personal stuff is that weird ?

For example, often I come to work for exactly 9 am as I live close to work. I just say good morning and then i just start up my computer and get on with it.

Especially on monday mornings I am not in the mood for any how was your weekend questions as you know… well the weekend is over. Why would i want to remind myself that it is over?

However , I often feel like people find it strange. I say this as i do notice a good number of people immediately ask how was your weekend when they arrive.

However , I hate repetiton, I get bored of asking the same question every single monday morning. I think it is like a broken record. To me it is so weird that it is obvious some people just say it for saying it sake.

Also it is really obvious that some people only ask you when they did something, but don’t when they didn’t and yes I find this annoying.

However , I could really care less. As far as I am concerned , what you do with your life outside work is your business and you are not obligated to bring it into the office.

I strongly see work and private life as seperate.

It takes me a lot longer to open up to people at work about my private life because I am not there to enhance my social life.

Do you think I am over analyzing the situation ? Does it really matter?

It’s not like I don’t talk to anyone. I am friendly, I just don’t want my personal life in the office. I don’t think it is relevant, unless say I get married, or there is a death or something really serious.

What do you think?
