I have kept quiet, not shared my opinions on debates among workers for fear of backlash, laughed at all of their jokes and remained polite at all times. I contribute to all collections for fellow workers and have attended social events. Yet I still feel isolated.

Dear Looking: If you feel comfortable with 90 percent of your colleagues, then I'd say you are doing very well. Your transition might have been a little easier if you had made a clean break from your other job.

You should ask the person who is dissing you if something is going on. Don't be aggressive and say, "What's your damage?" Simply say, "I feel like it's been hard to get to know you; is anything wrong?" This person's reaction to you might stem from something as simple as the fact that his or her best friend was fired from your position last year. This behavior is rude; if they don't soften after you speak with them, forget it and move on.
