Feel ostracized and left out at work. I (21M) have been constantly excluded and left out by coworkers (27-33F).

Recently I started an internship at a new company. A week into my job, I feel as though I am ostracized and the coworkers I surround myself with do not like me. For reference, I work in a lab/office environment and a bit close quarters with my coworkers.

Some examples of me being ostracized include:

1) I try and start up conversations, almost 25% of the time they continue the conversation, but most of the time they give 3 word responses and do not ask questions about me. I have also been the one initiating the conversations and go out of my comfort zone to try and talk to them.

e.g. Me:"Hey, do usually interns start out analyzing lab samples this early?"

Co-worker: "It depends on the person."

Me:"How many interns were there"

Co-worker:"Just one before you"

Me:"Did you intern before at Estee because you're quite good at your job as products lead!"

Co-worker:"No"

Basically feels like an interview and there's no investment in conversation.

2) I see my co-workers conversation with one another through Msft Teams because my supervisor(one of the coworkers that dislike me) lets me use her account. So, I see the notifications pop up when they communicate. Basically, they were having a conversation on how I was loud when I said "Goodmorning" to a fellow co worker, and how basically they called us "babies" and to get us all out of here.(There are other interns.)

3)Another supervisor of another department offered to get me food the first day of my internship. My supervisor didn't inform me about it, and therefore they got me nothing since they didn't communicate it. I know for a fact that my supervisor knew about this and wasn't just a form of miscommunication

4) A night-shift co-worker comes into the office and offers everyone a gift besides me right in front of my face. Saying how he got this from a nice gift shop and offered everyone a gift.(Some kind of a handbag).

There were excessive gifts since some coworkers didn't want it, and on my way out he never offered to give me one.

What should I do in this situation?

TLDR: close quarter coworkers ignore and ostracize me. Feel very lonely at work and have no idea on how to continue
