Unfortunately it sounds like that’s just the culture that’s developed in your office. You sound a lot more emotionally adjusted than the other people working there, but I couldn’t say if it has to do with gender or cultural upbringing. It could be both, neither, something else entirely...it definitely speaks to your maturity.

As far as fixing it, just keep doing what you do. Keep it all at a safe distance. There’s nothing wrong with feeling uncomfortable around that kind of stuff. Some would argue that it’s a cold perspective, but I agree wholeheartedly that lines need to be drawn in the workplace.

I also can’t imagine that the behavior facilitates any sense of order. How can anybody discipline that woman, or correct poor performance if it pops up, if she’s always “going through something?”

You do spend a good amount of time around coworkers, so sharing your lives to a certain degree is to be expected. Call me callous, but what you’ve described just sounds like a lot of unprofessional over sharing.
