Does anyone else tend to alienate themselves from their work colleagues?

I actually LIKE to be and unfortunately my colleagues always take it personally. Itā€™s not that I have anything against them - because I donā€™t. They are generally very nice people. I just donā€™t like people. If they talk to me , i speak to them. I just donā€™t go out of my way to participate in after work social events - hell I even try to avoid during work social events. I only engage with them when necessary (team work/projects) .

I donā€™t think my colleagues donā€™t like me , most of them do. Just sometimes they may ā€œteaseā€ that Iā€™m not part of the group or part of the team because Iā€™m ā€œnever there [in the office]ā€ - despite me being there as little or as often as my other colleagues.

I donā€™t care if they are unhappy with me not being pressed to get on a personal level/family- like level with them. What I donā€™t like is how I sometimes get passive aggressive attitudes and snide comments because I am reserved . They make assumptions like I donā€™t like them or think Iā€™m better than them (all ā€œjokingā€ accusations that have been made - several times) and shun me because of it. Itā€™s just VERY high maintenance and annoying. It stresses me out because it is SO unnecessary.
