Nearly every day since I've started this job, my coworkers take it upon themselves to complain about anything inconvenient happening in their lives, from their car breaking down to their boyfriend overdosing, and I don't give a shit about any of it. I haven't worked here for very long, so it makes sense why I don't feel close to them, but I feel as though even if I were, I just can't take it upon myself to care or pretend to care. Luckily my job is very secluded as it is, so contact with them is rare, but whenever we are in close proximity, it's just a nonstop barrage of "so my friend back in high school just killed themself", or "my mans just got arrested for selling meth and blah blah blah". It'd be different if it was just a thing here or there but it is literally so many details included that it feels like I'm their therapist or something.

I know the common reaction is "just tell them you don't want to hear it" but that just isn't socially possible. If i make my coworkers hate me or talk about me, there goes any chance at climbing the latter, or worse yet, they might complain about me to management or HR for being rude.
