You should probably do what makes you happy to be honest. If you really don't get on with the team and you feel depressed maybe this job isn't right for you and not worth the effort trying to make it work as others here have suggested... You seem like a slightly more normal version of me. I'm fairly sure I have aspergers so being the weirdo in the office is kinda my thing. I've never fit in anywhere I work so I can relate to this quite a bit. If the company is large enough I'll often find a another weirdo that I'll get on with, but at smaller places that doesn't usually happen. I guess the only thing I don't relate to is caring about it. Sometimes I can feel lonely, but I guess that's not the issue in your case because you're not feeling like this when you're working from home. That suggests this probably more to do with feeling like an outsider than a need for social interaction. I'm not sure how you would solve that. You can try to make friends with people as some people here have suggested but that doesn't mean you'll necessarily fit in - at least in my experience. In my case trying to talk to people to make friends would just solidify my position as an outsider if anything as I wouldn't be accepted either way. I think you have two choices: Either you try to understand why you care about being an outsider and learn to deal with it or find a different job - that's assuming there's really no one in your office you think you'll be able to get on with. I'm not sure you can force friendships regardless of how much you work on social skills. You can definitely fake them, but if feeling like an outsider is the problem here simulating a personality that people will accept probably won't make you feel any better. All that said, I'm probably the least qualified person in this thread to answer this question so maybe don't listen to me. =) Hope you find some answers here though.
