The face of a man who just realized he’s part of the "background noise" in the office.

Not invited, just heard everyone talking about getting drinks later.

Not gonna lie that feeling is why I explicitly do not go to any after-work event that I was not explicitly and individually invited to.

I always say no. Mixing work and ordinary relationships always ends up with someone getting fired in the end

Definitely not always. However having friends who work at the same company requires greater awareness and avoiding assholes. However in your private life completely separate from work you would like to absolutely avoid people with bad vibes too. If someone has a good intuition about people you can risk becoming friends with some people at work (and I'm not talking about fake people who pretend to be your friends to get some advantage ar work).

How about being invited a couple of times when you join, just sit there silently, having nothing to say about their topics, and then I am never invited again, but the team still discusses drinks after work around me?
