As the title suggests, my boss at work suggested that I am too much of a reclusive type, and I keep to myself too much which can make people feel isolated from me. As such, one of my 'target improvements' is that I have been asked to engage in more idle chatter with people about things I don't care about and aren't work related to satisfy my colleague's need for social interaction. For reference, my team is about 14 people large, I am the youngest at 28, the next youngest being 35. I work in a social service position at a local council. I have known my colleagues for 2+ years and they all know that although I'm a grouch, I'm always happy to help and try my best to do what I can for them.

Today I had the first bad encounter with my new boss. Two months ago we started a very interesting project of data analysis and I would be working in it with my boss guidance. All he did was to point me to the variables I needed to correct. All the variables I analyzed and corrected improved significantly, but turns out the variables we touched have not much impact on the overall result.
