Dear Stella:

I don’t think you should “suck it up”- you are clear about what you value: friends at work, friendly interactions at the least, correct? Not having what you highly value at your current job for five months is affecting you negatively. So yes, I think you should find a different job that will satisfy what you value most. Your co workers, if they are satisfied in their jobs may value more other things, have different goals in their lives. .

Best that you fit your life, including your job to your values, to what motivates you and gets you into that flow you mentioned (not to  others’ values  and motivations).
