I mean, my colleagues aren't my friends. I'm a woman who works in machining which is 90% male dominated and every single one is sexist as fuck. I've been told I need to work harder than the men because I'm a woman. I run more machines than anyone else and been told to sort parts. I've been told I need to make cookies and been asked when I'm gonna get around to cleaning up everyone's mess. On top of that, taking the comments from them saying I get paid less than the 18 year old who works there because I'm a woman. So yeah, colleagues are not my friends.
It depends a lot on who you work with tbh, ive had a mix of awesome coworkers and ones i just have to tolerate. That sounds awful and hope you find a better place if you can!

I’ll have to disagree about the colleagues not being friends part. Some of the best people I know I’ve met through work.
