<human>: If you've seen the movie/read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", I'm basically Charlie. I'm quiet and reflective, but have a side of me that wants to get more out of life and be social. I have no idea how to go about making the friends I want to have. I'm a pretty nerdy and quiet person with most people I meet. I always feel really distant from new people and we never seem to click. It's gotten to the point where I feel I'm being utterly fake in all of my friendships. Conversations are dull and experiences are forced.

The only advice I've ever gotten is to go to events/clubs/meetups with people with similar interests. I've tried things like club sports and theater and even greek life...but nothing felt right. I know that it's best to go with interests first, but I've tried that. And with mild depression, I'm really looking for friends more than anything at this point. To be honest, I don't even have many interests anymore. Does anyone have experience or suggestions for groups they've seemed to have people who are friendly, but also weird/nerdy/interesting?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I want to meet more interesting people and finally make some friends. Does anyone have suggestions as to where they would be?
