Is it normal to still feel uncomfortable with coworkers after a month?

Yes, it can be very normal.

From my experience coaching professionals, comfort at work often takes 3–6 months, sometimes longer, especially if:
- You’re introverted or shy
- The culture is different from your last job
- The team already knows each other well

To ease things:
- Join small conversations (one-on-one is easiest).
- Ask simple work-related questions; people open up when they can help.
- Suggest quick coffee or lunch with one colleague at a time.

If you’re respectful, learning, and showing effort, you’re on the right track.

Yeah, if they're assholes. I seem to attract them. I don't know why. Almost every job I've had, and every school I've gone to, there's been at least one asshole that singles me out to pick on me!! Quite often, I don't even know why!! Nearly everybody else I'm working with is kind and friendly to me and we get along great!
At one of the print shops I used to work in, we got two new people one day and I was introduced to them. The one guy had no issues with me but, every great once in a while, he'd make a snide remark about me. The woman, I'm not even sure we even got as far as saying hello! The entire time she was there, she spoke to me ONCE!! She dropped something of hers, I noticed it, picked it up and gave it to her and she said, "Thanks."! She was there for probably a decade!! If we happened to be doing hand work across the table from each other, she would look at me, talk to me or even acknowledge that I was there!! I don't know what kind of bug crawled up her cunt and set up shop!!

If it is all the coworkers it might not be normal but if it is oinly a few it is normal. Some people are just plain creepy.
