An observation on older generations

So I've noticed a lot of the older crowd I work with (40s and up) don't seem to have a social circle or hobbies outside work. In turn they bring a lot of their problems into the job, have inappropriate/private (or if I were having the issue I would want it private) conversations with other coworkers, and seem genuinely miffed when I don't want to meet up for drinks/go to company events/socialize off the job. Obviously this is anecdotal, but I think it explains part of the culture war/”nobody wants to work” thing; for older folks there seems to be family and then the social circle is primarily centered around the office. Just an observation
