In technical terms: What you have there is a land grid array (LGA) socket, and it looks just fine!
All the pins are bent/curled on purpose, so the CPU – which is flat underneath – can rest on them and make contact. The bent pins act like little springs, so when the CPU is clamped onto the motherboard, they press firmly against the CPU's contact pads.
You say that half of your pins are bent, but in fact they all are: One half of the pins bend one way, and the other half bend another way, like they've been combed with a tiny brush. Depending on the angle you're viewing them from, it can look like only half of them are bent, but if you look closer, you'll see they're all bent/curled. (Not sure why they're bent in two different directions, but I suspect it helps center the CPU in the socket, or has some other micro-mechnical advantage.)
If any of the pins were actually damaged, you'd most likely see it right away, because they'd be pointing in some weird angle (like seen in this photo where a few pins have been "crushed" while the others are neatly, uniformly arranged).
But again, the socket in your photo looks just fine!
Edit: By popular request, here's an embedded photo (couldn't embed the one I link to above due to copyright) of some really messed up socket pins. Not for the faint of heart.

5Those are not bent. If there were bent pins, they would be obvious at first glance as they would look completely out of place. – Michael Hampton – 2017-03-18T22:28:54.657
3This isn't a stupid question at all. A lot of people had the exact same concern when this socket design first came out. Somewhere out there, there was an electrical engineer laughing manically about the panic that they were about to unleash upon the world... – Nat – 2017-03-20T06:16:13.847
Note the angle that the picture in the question is obviously taken at. At this angle, the right-hand-side pins look like points, and the left-hand-side pins look flat. My guess is that if you were to take a picture from straight above, all pins would look close to identical (not completely identical as the light path still wouldn't be perfectly straight, but close enough). – a CVn – 2017-03-20T09:30:02.957
Thanks for all the help! I'm glad to know this wasn't a stupid question. I was hoping they WERE bent though, because then I'd know whats wrong with my computer. Back to the drawingboard! – Ozpium – 2017-03-24T13:35:18.453
