[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you extra Covid cautious? Do you wear a robust mask that muffles your voice? Do you insist they all wear one? Do you inquire about their vaccination status?

Any or all of these might be the reason.[/quote]

No, minus a desire to return to the office, I was dead silent on my feelings about masking and vaccination - I felt maintaining relationships through divisive times was more important. We were all required to be vaccinated, though, so there shouldn't have been a fear of that on their part.[/quote]

I don't know that your personality/POV was great. You may have been giving off 'pleaser' vibes. Dead silence isn't admirable - it's cowardice. Add that to your need to be liked and maybe they weren't up for all of that with you. My two cents.[/quote]

[b]I literally never interacted with them once we were sent home, though.[/b] I don't consider it cowardice to not send an email saying "Here's how I feel about covid measures." Am I missing something?[/quote]

To me, that's the issue. They did not understand you WANTED interaction, OP. Probably after everyone was asked to work from home, they all continued to communicate with each other, complain about isolation, until someone suggested getting together for lunch. You were out of the loop, and therefore they thought you were not interested.

You sound a little socially clueless. It takes continued interactions with people to become friends or at least, friendly acquaintances. Out of sight, out of mind.
