I've stopped feeling good about being a nerd/geek.

[chardmonster]

For the record, I'm still pretty nerdy/geeky and I certainly don't feel BAD about it.

But when I was younger I felt like being like this made me better than normal people; that I was somehow more special and that they were stupid/boring. That's because I had horrible self esteem as a teenager and this was pretty much all I had. But man, dealing with people in geek communities who are around my age or even older who never let go of that is fucking annoying.

No, you are not more interesting because you play video games and read comics, you adult babies

I know exactly what you mean.

It's kind of unbelievable to me that there was a time in life when I would watch or read things just because they were geeky. And not just check them out, but feel like I should enjoy them just because other people identified as geeks. It makes so little sense looking back. Like you say, I think a lot of it had to do with teenage anxieties (I would say for me personally more a desire to belong to something than low self-esteem, though I had that as well) but it's such a bizarre worldview.

And it's definitely unbelievable to me that there's people who still think that stuff matters, or who think that there's something about liking geeky things that's different from liking other things. Or that there's some positive quality you can identify about people who happen to like those things. Like, why the did anyone ever think that? And there's SO MANY people who do think it.

Ugh. Anyway. You're right on, preach it.
