"No one talks to anyone from other companies, to the point of awkwardness. ... Especially people you see every day!" Ugh, you clearly don't get some people. It's probably one of the reasons why they have the coworking space to begin with: they don't want to interact with people! Ain't nothing wrong with that! They want to get their shit done and go home and do other shit. Also, if they're halfway competent at their business, why do they need to know what everyone else is doing? I've done the coworking thing for a while, and the social interaction/collaboration thing literally doesn't come close to working the way you think it would. If you're hoping for some serendipitous interaction where you magically find that big project or cool new collaborator or etc. you'll be sorely disappointed. Because, many people at coworking spaces have literally been there since it first opened which can be years. I was at one with a tax attorney. I'm not going to like collab on anything with the tax attorney. Seemed like a nice guy, but I'm a developer and he has no money to spend on software so... Now multiply that story by nearly everyone in the coworking space and you'll see it quickly becomes...a place to do work and that's it. Which is awesome and exactly what we needed!
