Bonus points if it is written from the protagonist's (first person) POV…
I'm not looking for a protagonist that's "weird" in the cute way, I mean "weird" in the way that unintentionally makes people uncomfortable and confuses them. Doesn't really matter if they're a "good" person or not in their actions. Thank you 👍

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
An Unkindness of Ghosts – Rivers Solomon
A Confederacy of Dunces
There are multiple protagonists in David Mitchell’s Slade House, and they mostly fit this description. It’s horror, so I realize that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
I got here first, so I get to suggest Convenience Store Woman. Also Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.
The Selected Works of TS Spivet is a fun one, it’s about a boy who wins a prestigious geography prize and sneaks on a freight train to go accept it. The book has a lot of ‘his’ maps in it.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson would work too. It too is on the horror side.
