[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you have to go to work and feel this way.  Could you arrange an office happy hour?  What kind of sports do they like?  If it's football, maybe do a quick internet search of the weekend's games to at least know what they're talking about.  Are they doing a March Madness pool?  Even if you don't know anything about college basketball, you should join just to have something to talk about.  Sometimes people just win with dumb luck.

Also, I think it sends a bad message to have your office door shut all day.  Can you leave it open and only close it when you absolutely have to?

Maybe get a candy jar or bring in snacks.  That would attract some visitors.  Even if you don't have anything to talk about, you can strike up a conversation about the types of candy people like.  It works like a charm in my office.

I think that it can be hard to break habits that are already established in an office without trying to add new things to the mix.  I think you should keep up the stuff you were doing (stopping in to chat with people, etc.) and also try different strategies as well.  Don't close the door on any opportunities![/quote]
