In college, now that I think about it, one of the things I did that helped me get friends was play up my quirks. I figured out what quirks got laughs and what quirks didn't, and over time I formed myself into something of an endearing oddball. It worked out well because people didn't expect me to be "normal" as they got to know me, but I made up for it by being helpful and smart. Being "helpful and smart" was easiest in special interest groups, because I would always have something to contribute.
Yeah I can do that with the friends I feel most comfortable around which tends to be more the guys. Guys often find me very entertaining. I figured out sometimes within the last 1-2 yrs to play up certain aspects of the quirks to be entertaining.
