Stop doing the non-ironic ... posting

Also second what >>356537389 said. When someone is awkward around here nobody is going to think it's weird; it's only when you start drawing attention to it by becoming defensive that people start actually thinking about it. 

Anyways come by the /vrg/ meetup sometime, they're most active on Friday evenings and weekends. Just be prepared for loud noises and try to talk to some people. The meetups can be pretty big so not everyone is going to click perfectly with you, but just try your best to get to know people!
