I think the answer is probably a resounding "yes". But let me impart my tale of woe anyhow.
As my regular readers will know, of late the Company which I work for, Thomas Cook has been undergoing a merger with MyTravel, so this has taken up most of my brain power, worrying about whether I'm going to have a job when all is said and done and if not, where I'm going to find another job that keep me on my chosen career path.
Well, now it looks fairly likely that I am going to have a job, as per our new structure which was announced today and I'm starting to see a bit further and it seems I have other problems.
A group of colleagues, including myself used to regularly go to the pub on a Friday lunchtime, I've noticed that the last few weeks, they have sloped off to the pub without inviting me. They even went last week after work, including two people who don't normally go on a Friday, who i consider to be among my best friends amongst my work colleagues and not one of them thought to invite me.
Worse, I joined my usual Friday colleagues in the canteen today, even though i wasn't inviited to discuss our proposed new structure and the most outspoken amongst them made a comment about people in the department who have 'baggage' from previously being screwed over should realise that they should just leave the department. A comment which was clearly aimed at me, as I'm the only person left in the department who that comment fits.
I really don't know what I've done wrong.

Is your birthday coming up?:P
"Ask them in a jokey manner."
"So, you basts, hows the pub?......I'm just kidding."

Perhaps you should ask them. In a jokey friendly manner. Perhaps going to your typical haunting grounds and if you see your friends there and not telling you, you could casually ask them that question.
Alternatively, you can go full frontal and ask them during a tea break and get to ask them whenever possible for an answer. Play a bit stupid, if they start saying something that is aimed at you and the guy says it in a funny way. try "You're a funny guy, would you like to tell me what you're trying to imply?

You can worry about it to a point, an acceptable level of consideration for others feelings, if you will ... If you're making the same effort you always were to get on and co-operate with people, and things aren't going well ... go the extra mile now and again, make a point of being the good guy. If that doesn't work ... f*** em, really ... one thing I've certainly started to take on board in the past 6 months or so is ... it's not worth losing sleep or beating yourself up over ... Aside from family, and those who really are your friends (through thick and thin), look after your own skin mate. Life's too short to burden yourself with petty politics and the like ...
You won't be in that job forever, and once you've moved on, none of this will matter ...

Office politics and what not.. I hate that so much

Yes and yes. However, that didn't stop them liking me to begin with.

Not all the time, no. Only on the odd day where it gets to me.

From the way you tell it, you'd have to surmise that perhaps some of your bitterness at the way you've been treated is spilling over. Do you sit there moaning about it all the time? :)
