'Have I ruined my career?': Employee stops eating lunch with coworkers, sparking ridiculous feud with office Karen

Every employee needs to draw their boundaries with coworkers. Sometimes, you get along with folks well enough that you're more than fine hanging out outside the office. However, other employees prefer a strict separation between work and life, and regardless of how other people think or feel about it, that decision needs to be respected.
