I love the place, I love the people, I am not getting the *we love you back* feeling. That might just be me or I might be doing something wrong. If it is me, I want to fix it of course. If it is someine else just being a pain in the ***, I would like to be able to perform my job well and not have them distract from my progress. Additionally, I don't want there to be any problems since a company is ultimately a team. Ideas? Appreciated.

How long have you been there? If you are new, it will be up to you to make a bit more effort, eg suggest going for drinks after work or offer to do a coffee round (just the once, not every day!). Also, concentrate on your job and doing it well and don't get distracted. Did you get the job over someone else or was someone sacked? Is it a newly created job? These are all things that can provoke jealousy. Unfortunately, like families, we can't choose our co-workers so have to make the best of it. Also, if you're in a busy department, people might not actually have the time initially for niceties.
If you love your job and people that will eventually come through, so keep your positivity going.

ask your boss how you are doing and so forth...
I have a boss who never praises any of us and I enjoy that but it drives some of my coworkers nuts.
If I screw up he will come over and say something so therefore if I hear nothing I am doing ok
As for your coworkers I am the outcast. I have been crossed trained and they know I can do most of their jobs also. 99% of them are mothers (I am not) i do not do the after school sports and such. Do not take it that you are not doing your job or that you are not liked. you or they have not found a nitch to put you into yet
Ps in time even though after 4 years most still do not socialize with me (there are a couple good friend) I would say 75% of the department, including the bosses come to me for answers

It is nice to be friendly at work and not so when there is friction. However we do not go to work to have fun and make friends. We go there to do a job. If someone is making it difficult or you to do your work properly then you should approach them and without accusing her say that there seems to be some problem and you do not quite know what is wrong and ask them to discuss it. Be diplomatic and stay calm.
If this does not work then you must consider what you need to do to make the place a professional environment to work in. If that means involving a supervisor then so be it. Don't be aggressive because in the end you still have to work with the idiot.

I would continue to work hard and make sure my responsibilities were not slipping or being affected. You come to work to get a job done and sometimes you won't like everyone you work with and vice versa, even the people you work with in a team. I don't think it's necessary that you have to be friends with all your coworkers cause God knows there are few people that I wouldn't even entertain casual conversation with if it weren't for the fact we happened to work at the same place in the same department. With those people I just treat them with courtesy and professionalism.

just relax, some workplaces are a bit cool when it comes to people, in those case all you can do is get along as peacefully as you can with your co-workers (get to know them little by little, learn ther gimmicks and you might be able to know what they like and what they dislike, that will help you have a better work enviroment) be natural, people tend to respond to those who do not try too hard. and focus on your job, don't let those mixed feelings eclipse the cool stuff you are doing.
gdluck!

Yes! My hero. I know exactly what you're talking about... except the first two "love" ones; I just think it's okay.
I suggest telling your boss that you're having a problem with one of your co-workers.... Unless that isn't the problem, because to tell you the truth, your problem isn't all that clear to me.
Other than that, try littering opened condoms around the offending co-worker's workspace. Priceless.

Punch your co-worker in the eye... Then say "I'm Rick James *****"... they'll be cool after that.

Do your job and don't stress, they don't have to like you.
