My co-workers at my new job probably resent me now, and it has been only a month now.
It's not in my head, nor is it something that would subside later. A week after I got hired, the company hired a female and everybody seems to like her. It's not racism either... I was mainly hired to replace another guy since he was leaving for another store near him. He's the same race as I am and everybody liked him so much. One of our regular customers left me hanging in front of most of the staff when I tried to shake his hand. He's seemingly cool with most of the staff but me, it seems.
I didn't have a very kind childhood nor did I get to do alot of stuff. My co-workers talk about the olympics, sports, camping, college, their SOs, funny stories, and their other various life experiences. You know. Those typical things. Me? I don't really care for sports, im not in college now, my dating life is pretty complicated, I don't have many stories to tell really. All I like to talk about is stuff that's not really appropriate. I am also not a very good talker and while people can't see it and I haven't been officially diagnosed, im pretty sure I have anxiety of a sort. I still can talk but not in long lengths. I stutter alot and get sweaty in front of alot of people.
They haven't officially told me anything but I can just feel their hate towards me. I know they mutter stuff about me. I seen it happen a million times from people who are pretty two-faced. All because i'm basically softspoken. I dont know what to do. I feel like this is their problem, not mine but alot of jobs before my current one has kinda been the same way too. Changing jobs really isn't an option.

Why not read into topics that your coworkers find interesting so you can at least converse with them?

Because most of them does not interest me. They all joke around and make each other slap their knees. I don't have that much of a sense of humor.

Maybe they're just not used to the other dude being gone, anon. They probably do resent you based on the evidence of the one customer and your coworkers, as they probably want their old buddy back.

This, or at least talk about things that interest you? Or ask for more stories, or their opinions on things?
I too don't really find interest in sports, but I will ask about the teams or any upcoming games, or scores on games. That or bring up other topics and interests.

Worst part is, another dude is leaving really soon. So it's not going to make things any better.

Tried video games. I'm with X console, they're with Y console. The conversation became awkward and over with real fast. Tried opinions such as "my car is doing this and that, what's your opinion?'' "Go to O'reilys". End of conversation. And other topics I would like to talk with them about is just too inappropriate.

Try to bond with the new guy that replaces him, perhaps.

You're there to work, not talk.
