A more serious reply than my last (granulated--Hee Hee!)
From your posts you seem to have a level head on your shoulders and get along with adults (at least in this format).
Your "peers" are juveniles right now, and some of them will stay that way for a long time. Most others will successfully transition to being adults before too long.
Presumable you will get along with them better at that time.
If you mean by "socially inept" that you are shy and don't fit in well with your peers, that is not very uncommon. Most folks your age are shy, and envious of the few who aren't. It is a temporary condition.
Solution: associate with those with whom you feel comfortable. As long as they aren't total hermits or gay bikers doing drugs you'll get along fine.
(And if you haven't already, get rid of the pocket protector!)
