Protip: on the internet, you are exposed to far more people than the small sample set you meet at any one college campus. Also, how are you trying to meet other geeks? College clubs can be good, but they can also fall prey to the "nerd herd" factor - get enough awkward, annoying people entrenched in a single club, and it can chase out the more "normal" persons like (presumably) yourself.

(Related, did you make sure to check your empathy tank before joining? The part where you're concerned about how other people think of you makes me wonder if you're too status conscious to see past the embarrassment of being around 'real' nerds. Do you really get nothing out of being with these people, or is it just that you are afraid your friends might see you with them? An important question, even in college...high school doesn't evaporate overnight.)

Yeah, I wondered about this same thing when I read the secret. It kind of felt a little, "Oh no, these people occasionally wear Star Wars t-shirts; if I'm seen with them I will be shunned forever!"
