If you come in thinking that you're not going to find anyone interesting, you won't (and you can apply this sort of thinking to anything else). It's good to keep an open mind about things because you could be missing out on the best opportunities. But hey, if it's not your thing, it's not your thing, and that's fine. Just don't write it off so quickly, eh? Re: Melissa’s bar comment:

How do you expect other people to like you if even you don't like yourself? You can't let other people get you down so much that you begin to believe what they are saying. I've gone through similar problems with people trying to tear me down all my life, but I really try not to let it bother me. People aren't worth it. Be yourself and be happy with who you are and some nice people deserving of your friendship WILL come along. Maybe not right away, as you're still going to be surrounded by the same assholes for the most part, but you will have your chance. And if your looks are what is keeping people from being friendly with you, these people aren't even worth your time. I don't know how many times I have to tell you, but you are not a bad looking guy. Plus, you're intelligent. There's no reason why a decent, normal person wouldn't want to talk to you. That just goes to show you that these people you currently associate with need to be forgotten. I've been told to go to bars and meet new people, too, but I really don't think that's the best suggestion for people like us. I'm not really into the bar scene simply because I don't like the type of people who hang out at bars. How am I supposed to strike up a conversation with someone at a bar? Start talking about airfoils or why Boeing makes better planes? I don't think so because people who enjoy that kind of thing don't sit around at bars on weekends unless it's the bar at the airport. I really wish you wouldn't worry so much about it. I know it's frustrating to not have "real" friends to confide in, but it isn't the end of the world. Do like I do and just feed your obsessions. Since I don't have tons of people to hang out with, I sure as hell have a lot of free time to study things I love.
