What happens at lunch in your workplace? Do you split up and eat your meal alone or sit down and share a meal with your friends/co-workers?
I work at a farm which has (of coursh) hispanic landscapers. Every day for a year they meet in the garage together, while most every White guy I work with splits off alone. I've made a conscious effort the past month or two to amend this, taking at least one of them out, or a group of them for lunch. Tomorrow I'm making egg/ham/sausage sandwiches for four of my coworkers.
It's something small but I've already bonded more with my coworkers and friends, and it staves off the looming atomization hanging over all of us. If you're capable of something similar I'd highly recommend it.

Despite what other people say in this thread, perhaps you're just introverted. There's nothing inherently wrong with not being incredibly social. You just prefer to be in the background. Find an event where you're doing things together instead of talking.

Being introverted isn't an excuse for choosing to be a social tard for your whole life.
The base distinction of the introvert/extrovert dynamic isn't whether one is CAPABLE of being social, but whether one feels drained or energised by doing so.
I'm an introvert, my wife is an extrovert. If we go to a party, we will have a great time and I will often end up holding court to a group telling funny stories about my time at sea. She knows however that the next day I will generally need a "quiet day" and she will take the kids out with her friends or her mum whilst I relax at home.
