I worked with a bunch who liked the "reality" shows on TV. They would sit at lunch and dissect who did what and what they thought would happen next. Took the whole lunch time. No other conversation. It didn't matter to them that I wasn't included in their conversation. I tried to make the conversation work for everyone, trust me. This was our only break of the day. Since retiring, I get baby and birthday notices from them. They are getting a dose of tough love. No presents and maybe a card if I feel like it. IMHO these folks are not "friends" and have not learned how to relate to other people. Even if you're not interested, you can at least ask how someone's day is going. Find those who love what you love and don't worry about the ones who don't.
