Do things that interest you. If those things do not interest other people don't let it bother you. Life is too short to care what other people think and to spend needless time trying to figure out how to be cool. Be your own person but do not be unkind. Speak your peace, be open to others but don't be controlled by others. Connect with others but never seek approval. Choose your friends wisely and get rid of the one's that are caustic. Seek truth rather than rebellion for rebellion's sake. Don't ever feel the need to justify your existence but do spend time trying to do things that are significant. Seek meaning and engagement and have good relationships and you will find happiness. Have fun too.
