I started a new job 6 months ago, and have been having a really hard time making friends at the new place. I've never had this problem before, because I'm generally extroverted and tend to be cheerful and somewhat humorous. But as time goes on and I don't get any lunch buddies (people actually turn me down or exclude me), or invited to happy hours, I'm getting increasingly desperate. At the holiday party, I was so horrified that I had mingle with these people. I, an extrovert mind you, was absolutely horrified when I entered the room. I was so desperate to make conversation with people, that I did a poor job of editing what came out of my mouth and made myself look like a major freak.
My coworkers seem nice enough, and they're around my age, from a similar background to me, educational and otherwise. But they just don't seem to like me. For example, when some of them are gathered around talking and I try to join in, they barely acknowledge my presence. they want me to go away.
