for those of you with good communication skills, what do I tell my manager so she stops telling me I need to talk more (socially)? (programming.dev)

very similar question to my last one but this time with management, not a coworker.

Similar because she keeps pestering me with what to her seems to be an important issue. She doesn't seem to understand that I'm there to work and not to socialize. On our last conversation she told me we're a big family and that I'm welcomed to be sincere with her with a big smile, to me a fake one.

So many red flags I wanted to run, but I still have to articulate it in office speak so she stops pestering me.

Context is an exit interview management is going to use to try and convince me to stay, but I don't want to work there anymore, too much drama and cattiness over dumb crap.

It's an exit interview? And you want to know the appropriate thing to say to someone pressuring you to be social in ways you don't wish to be? You tell them to fuck the fuck off and you walk out the door.
