I think Americans often separate their work and personal lives.

Not because they dislike their coworkers, but the relationships with coworkers isn't safe.

Literally any random thing can get you fired in the US, and trusting your coworkers with personal info increases the chances of this a ton.

I can not afford to have personal relationships with my coworkers because if 1 wrong thing gets said i become homeless.

This makes sense. But it sounds miserable to be honest, you spend upwards to 8 hours a day with these people so i would have to imagine it affects productivity in a bad way
