Chances are you somehow act really creepy, which you do not see yourself. Ask a friend for a mock interview. Record it and watch later.

Don't have a friend? Hire someone. A friend cannot do mock interviews? Hand them a list of 10 questions that you remember from all those previous attempts and tell them to read it in solemn voice.

Nowadays the interviews are remote. Let a friend observe your interview and then ask their opinion. (I think recording these might be likely illegal? idk)

Well I was homeschooled since the 6th grade. So, I can understand how I can be weird/socially inept. I think that I'm more demure than creepy/werid imo.

I did a mock interview with a friend a while back. But good suggestions for sure.

> Ask a friend

Or ask not-a-friend. A random person who is skilled in interviewing and doesn't have a personal relationship with you may give you more true answers.

Such persons could be available on upwork or fiverr, and thus quite cheap.
