well i tell ya. many of us are out their. weird as you say. we have not found our way to express our selves . when we find the right group of friends then we seen to fit in. we do sometimes say things to get people to like us.and it does sound weird.we must find our selves, and be our selves. if we don't we are not who we are.go and be your self. dont work your ass off to make friends. it does not work. be true to your self. be honest to your friends.be well.
