It sounds like your old work environment was toxic. I don't go to work to have someone mother me.
I go to work to provide a service for which I am paid. I would not want someone to mother me or become that friendly with me at my place of employment. I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. Perhaps try finding some new hobbies or volunteer... best of luck to you.
