I normally don’t mind and I’ll chat with anyone about anything but some people are just over-the-top.
All this may be true, but you still need to compartmentalize. There is a public life and there is a private life. When work intersects with public, some people will get the idea that you are always at their disposal no matter what your mental state is. People today have a really hard time accepting that there are people in the world other than themselves, and that those people are not in their service 24-7. If you can't find ways to create boundaries, then you probably need to avoid going out if you find yourself in a less social mindset.
