How would you have handled this?

I let people in a little bit, but my little bit is not always enough for them. They always want more, and I don't have any more to give. I hate to hear people say "oh, don't be like that." Don't be like what? Because I don't desire to go out with you EVERY WEEK or because I don't invite you to lunch with me and my FRIENDS or because I didn't tell you about something personal in my life? Don't be like what? Cuz I'm not going to be phony EVER. It's like no one wants to stay in the little box marked "COWORKER," everyone wants to move into the"FRIENDS" box or the "ASSOCIATE" box. Why we can't just be coworkers? Why can't we go to lunch once in a while. Why can't we become friends if that is what is meant to be. It doesn't have to be forced.

I feel ya! I feel ya!

I say: Get a dayum life (outside of "your" job). That is the problem around here. These people want to work 5 days a week together and party 7 days a week. Ummmmmmmmm, I don't want to see you THAT much! I have other things to do.... Then you get labeled as "acting funny" etc etc wudeva!
