It's disappointing that you feel detached from your colleagues. They're in the same boat as you. Also, increasing your network doesn't hurt. There's a risk in being known as the quiet or moody guy who doesn't interact with anyone. It might make you enjoy your work more too.

Partially agree.
I still network, and actually found my current job thanks to my network.
I still interact with ma colleagues, help them, socialize. But I try to keep some emotional distance.
When I got laid off, my colleagues were also my close friends, so on top of the laid off turmoil I was living, I was sad I would no longer work with them.
