I don't know what to do /adv/
I'm not the least social person I know and I do have friends but I just keep ending up isolated at work and it's really bringing me down
is this normal? is this my fault? should I try again at a different company or hope that things will get better?

No worries I have a hard time truthfully connecting to people too. I just have small talk with most and then avoid doing social stuff with those I dont like. If its forced it will get awkward fast. Give up on trying to like everyone and focus first onto making one friend who you have something in common with
