Minimal interpersonal skills are a workplace requirement. I would either try to learn those skills or see a medical professional to see if there is an appropriate diagnosis that can help you seek out a role that accommodates accordingly. I promise you that the other people in the office aren’t there because they love you or each other. They are practicing social skills that they have learned, some so well that they do so unconsciously.

- notbob 7y ago> Maybe you’re the one with the mental problem? I don't think this is helpful. Being able to either ignore or put up with office politics might be a pathology, but it's a pathology that is required in most well-paying work environments. Passing subjective judgement on it isn't helpful unless you're a) a high-level executive with the ability to drive culture changes; or b) able to provide examples of work environments that better conform to OP's preferred social interactions (which I do in my original post).
