Accept that you are the way you are and like the things you like. When people talk about what they like, engage with them. Be a human being.

From experience, this will already put you so far outside of the usual spectrum of what people meet that this is more than enough. There's a nice side-effect that you don't need to feel like you need to "do things" to be interesting, which really isn't a healthy stance to have towards yourself.

I'd also say that pushing your comfort zone is healthy behavior and will likely leave you a more well rounded person.
