Supmag, Just chill out.
do this; take a step back from life. Laugh at your situation. Laugh, then laugh some more. Its funny. In my college most people in my lessons think im weird, still get that fucking eye contact of the women but i dont do lesson game. stay away from that all together. relationship in a lesson? this isnt Friends.
so on another thread you realised you shouldnt TRY and be funny to get people to like you. ideally you want to be, being funny so you make yourself laugh. People will find you funny, if you find yourself funny. Last night a random guy said he was in a place with everything made of marbel, so i said "marbelous", i found that shit funny. Everybody actually laughed.
Take a step back from your life and just laugh at it all. your improving yourself and you said those people who dont like you are gone next year, anotyher 6months and theyre gone. youve got 80years to live. who gives a fuck what they think.
Just chill with people, dont react to what they have to say so much so theyll like you and know your listening. from all your posts it sounds like you dont care about women so much, more you just want to know your normal (by having friends).
want a tip on talking to people in general? Be real with them. try and keep conversations rolling, just dont be weird or try and be funny. If anything just talk about your day and what youve got to get done, mention something you were thinking ("how do they build buildings so big? stuff like that amazes me"). your view on a subject or area.
A good way to make friends where you're the 'centre of attraction', as you said, is by saying something about yourself and this gives people a chance to build rapport with
you;
example:
you: ah i love how winters make me get all snuggley by the fireplace and cozey with a reason to be lazy

(hardy har)
her/him/it: oh yeah man, i love that. I like how the streets are so quiet and it has that slow christmas day feel.
you: yeah i cant wait till christmas, i love christmas nothing better than everyone being happy and lots of food. i like cheese
her/him/it: no way, same, i prefer making people happy than getting presents for myself (okay this is a girl responce most likely)
you: wow, youre great. not just a pretty face after all. come sit down over here. my legs are aching from standing and talking. (definitely never say this to a guy unless youre gay or hes gay and youre doing gay-flirt)
-----------
i learnt the talking about yourself, theyll interact thing from working in a cornershop. It got me to be social. go get a job or something.
Oh and be a positive guy, dont talk to people about anything negative/depressing for anything more than 30seconds, unless its important (which it very rarely is), No one wants to talk to a negative person.
Empathise with people, if a girl is talking about her opinion/view or a story, feel it from her shoes.
NOW GO GET'EM TIGER RAAWWRRRR
