How do you tell a senior that I don't want to be buddy-buddy with him outside of work?
He keeps trying to befriended me, inviting me to his house along with his friends. I don't think he's romantically interested in me, he's married, he's just too extroverted, has huge social circle.
Being a chronically introvert, I just want to go home and sleep after work. It's enough having him breathing down my neck for 5 days/week, don't want to see his messages during the weekend.
I have to keep the relationship cordial and polite though as my job satisfaction depends on that.

    Just politely tell him you prefer to keep your work and personal lives separate. If he's a reasonable adult he'll respect your boundaries and understand. If he starts making your life difficult, document his behavior and take it to HR.

    Anyone who know me more than 1 weeks, know that I have bad social anxiety.

    Don't know why he seems oblivious to that.

    Faking illness every weekend? Yeah ...

    I already rejected all his invites with various creative reasons. 😅

    @cho-uc I bet I could do it every weekend. I'd create an entire persona if I have to.

    I only gave you one option. If I wanted to get out of a social situation I could come up with tens more.
