Stop taking showers, grow a beard, then foster friendships with tabletop wargamers.
Neckbeards give +1 with friendship skills.

Only if the other creature also has the Neckbeard subtype.

That's a generic +1 circumstance bonus. +1 at the tabletop, -1 everywhere else.

Somehow get a reputation for being odd but funny. I managed it thanks to the general election. Stood for the Monster Raving Loony party, wrote my own speech, won a huge landslide.

If you're going to do something like this, also start working out. Because someone's eventually going to try and kick your ass.

High school, man. There was nothing civilized about that. It was, however, hilarious.

I didn't think American high schools were as dreadful as they are in the media. As far as I know, some kind of awful social apartheid exists.

They aren't. In fact, the worst you'll encounter is a couple of potheads, a slut, and numerous clusters of people who hang out with each other. It's just like any other place.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Hey look, I'm responding to the guy above me without directly quoting him. Insanity!

High school was really not that bad. If you're getting bullied, it's probably not because you're "the geek" or "the smart loser" or something ridiculous like that, but because you're digging yourself into a social hole, and not by accident. I knew plenty of guys that were awkward but really nice guys, and everyone liked them. Awkward does not equal being bullied. Now, if you say something really weird that isn't very nice, or try and be sarcastic and fail, thus insulting/creeping someone out, that's different - but it's also your fault. Generally speaking, if you just be a nice guy life ain't shabby.

And of course, if someone starts bullying you for no reason, get a teacher, counselor, or even the principal involved.  I endured half a year of needless bullying because they intimidated me into not telling anybody, I still wish I had just man'd up and ran crying to my mommy.

If you tell everyone how wrong/stupid they are, and how great the things you like are, they won't like you, obviously. A large part of the problem is how you come off, not what you're into.

Bad idea ex: "Hip-hop is stupid, I listen to folk music, since it isn't deroggatory to women"--instant dislike

High school was one of the best periods of my life, although looking back on it objectively, I was kind of a prick. Of course, so were most of my friends. Birds of a feather get wasted together.
