You should not care if people like you, but they must respect you. If they don’t like you they can f*ck off. Stop trying, period, and just do you.

But what if the real me can be boring?

If you’re boring it’s because you lack adventure and experiences. Go enjoy the world, take risks, and you won’t be such a bore!

Stop worrying about making people like you. Take a genuine interest in other people and they will naturally like you. Ask them and talk about their hobbies and interests as if it’s the most fascinating thing you’ve ever heard of and you want to know everything about it. Read How to Win Friends and Influence others for even more great advice like this.

I do that but I feel like it results in me peppering people with questions and unnatural more than anything

That's not the real you. We all have many facets, some more interesting than others.
What do you want from other people?

Say something controversial. Shows that you aren't a people pleaser.

I would rephrase this to “Don’t be afraid to disagree with people, even on big/important issues.”

Change your focus. You can’t force people to like you, so you’re always going to come off as “trying too hard” if your goal is solely to get other people to like you. Instead, make it your goal to connect with or seek out people that you have things in common with. Let the friendship grow from there.
