Hi ~ I worked at a place like that, with people like that --- I never fit in, and we had nothing in common. I stayed at that company for about 15 years!!!
The very FEW times I went to lunch with anyone, it was the most uncomfortable thing I'd ever done. Conversation was forced, and usually we just ate in peace. Finally, I just spent lunch hours in my car, listening to music. LOL I was much more comfortable, and it helped to clear my head since I worked in a fast-paced, technical type job. I just did my job, and when quitting time came, I tried to leave the stress THERE -- and go home. 
Yes it got lonely at times, but when I listened to the others talking at work, I was amazed at how shallow and self-serving they were. I was glad I didn't fit in -- I'd hate to be thought of like that.  I'm just a "normal" (???) down-to-earth gal who would feel uncomfortable at the opera anyway! LOL God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
