I tried telling them jokes, fun facts, and small talk in order to keep them engaged in conversation

It sounds like you might be coming on a bit strong and that it might seem a bit forced.

If you wanna get to know people, organically is probably best. Sometimes it takes a long time. So explore your interests, outside of whoever might be involved. Me personally I'm interested in making anarchy, so I seek out anarchic spaces and events, and take my time trying to find my own way in them. At the same time I do my best to try to be someone who does right by other people and myself. Over time, certain people recognise those things and we become friends.

I tried being in groups, but I'm always seen as an outsider even after a long period of time
