Yes you are right. I never was part of the in-crowd... not anywhere, at any point in life. I guess on the flip side of that... if you’re not part of any clique at work then that helps you stay out of trouble.
I’m going to start pulling back from being talkative and friendly and limit it to those who reciprocate. Maybe most people at my work just want their personal space. Who knows but it’s not a cheerful place to work.
