I have recommended to others before that one should observe the mannerisms of those that are likeable.

I really appreciate this post. I don't think your question is offensive or harsh by any means. I am a quiet kid, so that is one factor. I'm not mean to anyone and I am not a party animal. I do mostly keep to myself because I haven't yet (unfortunately) met someone with the same interests as my own. I am a straight-A College student, so I am not a slacker. I take my education very seriously. I will admit I will study constantly without social interaction just so I can do very well on an exam. I need to keep a very high GPA (3.7+) to sustain my major, considering my major is a very challenging medical field and I can't risk not being accepted towards my intern year.
I don't go out, so that is one other factor. In my town, there really isn't that much to do. My parents pressure me to go clubbing---but by myself? I find it pretty awkward. I wouldn't really know what to do in that situation, haha.
I am healthy. I guess I am just not sure how to make friends? It's a lot harder to me personally.
