My coworkers are all grouped together chatting and having a good time while im off alone still working. Why am i like this? Is there something wrong with me?
you're just not that social. nothing wrong with that aslong as it doesn't bother you

Do you make an effort to join in?
You're either a shitty person, an unsocial person, just incompatible with these people, or some combination of the three. No amount of talking to internet strangers will be able to give you a definitive answer.

>You're either a shitty person
What's shitty about doing the job you're paid to do instead of fucking around?

sometimes but it doesn't really seem to work out
>>16933707
it usually doesn't but one of my coworkers pointed it out to me and it made me think about it

Try making more of an effort.

>coworkers pointed it out to me
can you tell me how he did that exactly? sounds a bit mean to me

I use robots to test parts for fiber optic cables to make sure they are good enough to be shipped out. While everyone was off talking and having a good time i was working and he asked "are you going to marry those robots?"
>>16933758
ok. that is reasonable teasing. how have you responded?

>it usually doesn't but one of my coworkers pointed it out to me and it made me think about it
What's bothering you about it? Just thinking about their opinion of you, or that you wish you could goof around with them more often?
Just do what feels right for you. If you want to work while they want to goof off, no shame in that at all, in fact it makes you a good hire. If you want to hang out with them more, go for it.

I think its just that part of me wishes I could be more sociable like I used to be when I was a teen.

Try. If you try, it's easy. Trying gives you a 99% chance of succeeding.
