No one should be ashamed of being a nerd

Comments

  • If you are a nerd who doesn't see much daylight, you should be ashamed. Not because you are a nerd, but the fact that your hobby is keeping you from making general interaction with people..

    And Yes, dont be a fake either just for attention, drop the big ass glasses, and try being yourself for a change.

    Thank you..

    I agree with the views of this article; we have a lot more going for us nerds than we've had in the past. We get higher-paying jobs than the average person, thanks to some of our technical skills, and for the first time ever, we have an entire sect of certain nerds (bronies), that are openly welcome by the community, for the most part. We shouldn't be ashamed with what we do, because what we do could end up landing us somewhere that would have the average person fuming in jealousy. Just look at Rooster Teeth, at first they were just a bunch of nerds doing machinema and no real funding, but now they have ascended and have a partnership with Bungie, who do their animations for Red vs Blue. All in all, don't let the rest of the world try to take you down just because of what you like to do, collect, etc.

  • Growing up in the 80's being a nerd meant a bunch of kid's built a backpack wall at the lunch table to keep your cooties off of them. We have come a long way baby!

    Or you ate alone. :/

    Although to be fair, back then I was really more of a dork than a nerd.

    I ate lunch with my best friend, and a basketball hoop that we lovingly referred to as "Pole." I often attribute human feelings to inanimate objects. The scene in castaway when Wilson gets lost rips me apart inside.

    ...because people can connect with anything. We can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a shark, and we can give Ben Affleck an Academy Award for Screenwriting. People can find the good in just about anything except themselves.

    Let's face it, there's never been a better time to be a nerd in the history of the world.

    Yes, that was the point of the article.

    I've heard of shame shaming, but this is ridiculous.
