@SigmaWolf i think deeper part to your answers...is you .
Ive worked at the same place for over a decade, and i have one real friend there. (And we made friends in about 20 minutes).....everyone else : i gave up trying.
A few of them are lovely - but just not my tribe. They operate with different interests and priorities. Others: i have found i deeply dont like - their morals and self importance grate on me.
I have reconciled myself to it never happening, amd now even have come to the realization that i prolly dont wanna be their friend as their interests and ways i find tedious, just as mine do to them.
- I talk philosophy - they talk Facebook.
- They talk about take-aways, and i talk foreign cusine
- they gossip, i ponder the psychology behind it.
As much as they are ok people, its just too much energy to stay at their level and think like they do .
We get along ....but thats only coz i try. I dont see it being reciprocated , prolly coz they think the same of me, as i do of them ....but without the perception.
Like @Nitedoc says - i dont think theres anything wrong with you , youre just operating on a different wavelength 🤷♀
If people cant 'see' and appreciate you for what you bring to the dynamic - you cant make them.
Theres a reason sigmas are considered 'lone wolves'....they are a bit of every type, but not quite any particular one: eclectic.
