i was always a nerd until i began working in the (rock) music industry - that made me automatically cool. Shallow as that sounds, i really enjoyed being the cool person, after a lifetime of being made fun of.
when i stopped working in music i felt how LW feels now. Eventually other things became important in my life and needing to be cool receded -- but not all the way.
i still cannot get thrilled listening to my coworkers talk ENDLESSLY about their home repair projects and potty training fiascos, etc.
all i can say is, try to dig down deeper into what makes you unique and quirky, really embrace it, and then you really will be a cool person, and other people will see that too.
