All my current friends are either internet people from a different continent or some people I retained from that "difficult kids" school I was forced to go to. Those people are weird enough themselves that they have fun with Me and I have fun with them. Since then things did not work that well even though I tried hard.
People just generally do not want to spend time with me, when after-work activities are the current talk topic of the room, they switch topic when I enter.

Adults are the same, just different. They may not beat you daily at a place you can not escape aka school for the fun of it, but they still let you know that you are not one of them, that you are not welcome beyond what your work capabilities can provide.
