@Monch21 Well there is adapting, there is also finding a different job. Maybe you'll find some colleagues that like anime at your new job. There were quite a few anime fans at this inbound call centre I worked at. Not so many at all at other places I worked. And video game shops are probably a good place to find people with similar interests. Well you kind of do get forced into situations and conversations you wouldn't choose at work so it's good for that

Just get out there and get a job! Jobs help as they FORCE you to talk to people and make relationships with colleagues or customers. I remember one time being stood outside on my break at my new job after being there a week. I was stood opposite one guy I got on best with but we were struggling to make conversation anyway xD Then my manager and the main team manager came and stood with us turning it into a circle. Now I had to make conversation as it just makes you look good in your managers eyes. Generally employers wants extroverted people as they interact with the public better. So since it was in my best interests to make conversation I actually was motivated to think of stuff to say. Also while you have a job look for a better job as people are more likely to hire you if you already have a job. That way you can keep meeting new people and make new friends and maybe you'll find a girlfriend at one of these jobs ;) These things are just practice. And you'll never get good practice unless you're out of your comfort zone. And talking to random people might be more difficult, and easier to embarrass yourself than colleagues so I recommend that.
