I have found a new job and there are training sessions before the actual assignment is allotted to us.
The situation is quite awkward i am unable to interact with so many people i feel quite nervous
Now since 3 days have passed i have noticed nobody wants to sit next to me.
I am very lonely and when they all keep talking among themself i feel left out
They also mock and make comments about me that im just listening to their conversation
without joining in and when i try to join in they just wont listen to what im saying

So now i feel i should carry a newspaper or book with me and at free time spend
time reading instead of interfering in their conversation and then being left out.

Your description of the situation brings back memories of my first year at university. I ended up burying my attention in the textbooks rather than socializing with the other students - not that they ever invited "that weird spaz" (me) to any of their celebrations, of course. It was only after the grades were posted, and several realized that I had scored at the top of most of my classes (while they were in danger of failing their first year) that any of them thought to ask The Spaz to tutor them.

It was only after my grades began to suffer that I stopped trying to help them - not that hellping them ever led to any of them treating me as a friend, of course.

In my opinion...

... is a good decision.

Let them talk and play their silly little-girl games. You have more important things to consider, like remaining employed and employable.

Good luck.

I could well relate to this i have gone out of my way in helping people and especially they show up when they need help but that did not imply that i became their friend i was always used and taken for granted as a lending bank for help rather then a friend.

I agree its better to read the newspaper or book rather then getting involved in girly talks and loosing this job...its after 3 years that i have entered into job market again....quite nervous :?
