But the others never had enough time to warm up to me (important since engineers tend to be very introverted). Makes it tougher since I live at home alone. So if nobody’s pinging me the other than one daily short meeting I’m not talking to anyone throughout the day.

It’s made me almost regret leaving my old job because at least I had friendly coworkers and work relationships established already.

Hopefully we’ll figure it out! Crazy times.
They are probably trying to get a feel for you still. I am sure they will come around.

I am lucky that most of the people at my work have become quite good friends. But it's tough because the boundaries become different then if they where just another coworker and you have to learn to separate work duty and friendship.
