I wondered why I don't feel "included" in my team at work. Today I read an article about not hating people but instead hating shallow conversation, and it dawned on me. I don't hate my coworkers- but I can't stand the useless small talk about where they get their nails done and other mindless repetitive crap they talk about all day/every day. Yup, not going to be making any friends in this place.
