How do you deal with coworkers you do not like?
So, I work in a team of 10ish people, and we have individual KPIs to meet so no team work as such is required for the work we do. Its been almost a year that i've worked in this team, and i've not found a single person to call a friend/ hang out with. I used to hang out with a group of people at the beginning of joining, but soon realized that their thought processes do not match mine, and i stopped hanging out with them. I speak with another group during office hours, but its very evident that they are just being nice to me. I try to initiate to go to the games room for some break, and to be polite, they say "sone time later" but that later never comes or they go on without me.
Please do not say stuff like "Ignore it" - i've tried to do it, but it becomes very hard when you work in the same desk area as they for almost 8 hrs. IT gets to a person, especially when their coworkers are not very welcoming. Some of them have said very nasty things in front of me about someone sitting in front of them just to make fun - they nitpick on the smallest thing and laugh at it, so i know they are doing the same to me whenever i interact with them and then hear them laughing when i go back to my seat. Like they outrightly comment on a person's baldness, on how fat someone is, how unflattering someone's outfit is and make really offensive "dank" jokes. Like proper nitpicky gossip aunties. (most of them are boys if the context helps)
I'm severely introverted, so going up to them to initiate an activity and then being met with suck a reaction is very discouraging. If its helps with the context, this is my first job.
