Try not to go out of your way to please your co-workers too much. If you are doing this as a permanent job, you should be enjoying the work and your environment while you are being yourself instead of wearing a mask.
I personally already know what sort of work environment I am most comfortable with: loud, fast-paced, high pressure, friendly, exciting, many things to learn. If a company cannot offer me that, I say no thank you. It is like match-making, not like desperately "get any old job just for money, nothing else".
These are things an employer should know beforehand and he/she would be able to have a rough idea if your personality will match the working environment (e.g. co-workers are friendly and encouraging). If you feel comfortable with talking to your supervisors, tell him/her about your situation with the social environment at work. Most of the supervisors in my past are very understanding (even if some are ruder than others) and will appreciate your feedback, offer advice on how to get along, transfer you to a different department, etc. It has happened to me after I got partner with someone with a different working style. I told my supervisor. She was very appreciative and actually said she preferred if I tell her immediately next time something similar occurred.
