​Is it normal to completely lose touch with almost all your coworkers after leaving a job?

i've had it happen many times before especially in retail jobs or manufacturing jobs , you talk to them at work cause your bored but once its over you never really see them again. maybe i talked to one guy from a past job at a sports bar once but even that was awkward

yes, its sad but true. life goes on. I have 3 or 4 people that I email but only one that I ever see in person.

It's not for me. I am still in contact with people I knew from 25 or more years ago.

Your coworkers are not your friends. Sometimes they are just people we work with

[FreyaRed]

Yes. You were there to earn money, your goal wasn't to find new friendships.

I guess it depends how close you were with them during your job?

[AgentG111]

I'd say yes unless you had some strong ties there.

It can happen. Hopefully they gave you their number so you can ask them to hang out.

Yes. Co workers are not friends.
