A few comes to mind...

C3PO (lol)
Edward Scissorhands
Jack Skellington
Miles Raymond
Hugo Reyes

B9 robot from lost in space.

he was ignored by the other characters. they always resorted to his computer brain to calculate how they could save themselves from some disaster they were fighting all episode long.
the alpha male character always played the brave hero, but when he was beaten by insurmountable odds and it seemed they were all doomed, someone would think to say "ask the robot". i found it hilarious that the robot must have known how to save them from the beginning, but never said anything until he was asked.

the alpha male usually yelled at the robot for an answer angrily like a desperate man trying to start a car.
then the robot would sprout a complete plan of action that was a sure success.

like "according to my calculations, there is a hypernodal error in the aliens sensory deflection unit professor robinson! if i can tune my nuclear rectifiers to the frequency of the aliens brain activity, i can disrupt their entire cybernetic systems".
then the still sweating alpha male says "do it!! !!" angrily.
the robot performs the action and the cast is saved.

they all hug each other and exchange facial expressions but they ignore the robot and never thank him, and they walk off to their happy dinner leaving the robot who just stands still making a whirring noise and never notices the thanklessness.

also, there was never a reference to the robot in the credits. the voice must have been played by someone.

all throughout the series, his name "B9" was mentioned in only one show. in every other show he was just "the robot".
i felt for him and admired him so much when i was 8.

i relate to characters on a lesser scale in adulthood.

i relate to sherlock holmes and columbo (i know that those 2 in the same sentence to some is like chalk and cheese, but to me, columbo was a simple genius)

also the doc martin character in the show of the same name (although the show seems to have him cast as asperger-ish, but it is written well).

i relate to very good vampire portrayers like vincent price.
i like power without looks. it shows great power if they have it and also look scary (i have reasons for thinking that).

these days, the "vampire" in a movie is likely to be a hunky sexy model type, but in those days, the vampire was much older and more mysterious and revolting but alluring simultaneously. the girsl used to scream at his appearance, but the power of his mind just stopped them from running away and they were unconsciously drawn and seduced into a terrible world of evil. vincent price played the part exceptionally.

I'm with ttqs84, I too feel like Elphaba. What's even more ironic is that I have a step-sister who's exactly like Galinda. Every time I hear the song "Popular" it always reminds me of how the two of us were in back school.

Another character I can relate to is Allison Reynolds a.k.a. "the basket case" from The Breakfast Club

Haseo

The third Blue Man

I relate to Chandler from Friends. I watched TOW the Blackout last night and when he's in the vestibule with Jill Goodacre he's behaving awkwardly and thinking about what to say to her rather than just talking. And then when he finally does say something, it's awkward and he immediately starts thinking about how awkward it was. That's exactly how I am in most situations, overthinking every little thing, and I imagine I must come off as just as awkward. And then there's all his awkward jokes etc. I'm pretty much completely like him except that I'm female.

Dexter Morgan, except for the whole killing people thing. But the whole faking it to make people think you're normal thing is familiar. There was an episode this season where he and his girlfriend went grocery shopping and she asked why he put the shopping list in alphabetical order. He looked at her with a straight face and asked her how else would she do it. This whole season revolved around him making his first friend, being perplexed as to how he should behave.

prot from K-PAX.

Daniel Jackson from Stargate: SG1.

Data from Star Trek:TNG

Mr. Bean

Doctor Jekyll / Mister Hyde

The Creature from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Adrian Monk from Monk and Stork from Storm Hawks...

reason: They're both obsessed with germs, death and impending doom!
