Mostly curious, is the company hiring a lot of new staff? You might find that as more people join, you'll build a sense of camaraderie with the new staff.

I noticed that I felt a bit alone working at a game studio with a lot of GenX-ers, but once a bunch of fellow GameCube-pilled millennials got hired on alongside me things felt more comfortable.

Yes, the company has hired two engineers apart from me, and they seem more integrated than I am (one of them was hired a month after I started). Next week, a new hire will begin as well. We are all in the same age range: 27 to 39 years old.

I normally start to click with people after 1 or 2 months in the job. I'm worried because 4 months have passed by, and I have zero connections. However, as I said, the job is enjoyable so far.

I might need to check my mental health, but I wasn't depressed before starting here. Last year I was in another position, and I was content during that 3-month short contract and didn't have any problems to bond with coworkers.
