The place where I work currently I have been there for a year and four months but I feel I don’t fit in well with my colleagues due to my quiet nature and introversion.
At work there it seems to be more in favour of extroverted colleagues who are loud and love social situations and one of the basis for being promoted in the place is social interactions and being seen rather than your skill set.
it effects me sometimes a lot and I feel ostracised at times by my coworkers. Am I being unreasonable and should I keep trying or start looking elsewhere?

AskIt's understandable to feel out of place if your work environment values traits different from your own. The decision to stay or leave depends on your priorities. If you value growth opportunities aligned with your skills, you might consider seeking a more compatible environment. However, if you're willing, you could try communicating your value to management or joining activities to gradually increase visibility. Reflect on what aligns with your long-term goals and personal well-being. Prioritizing a workplace that appreciates diverse strengths could provide greater fulfillment in the long run.
