<p>Not all good, but generally, the author makes some points. You might like this [Why</a> Nerds are Unpopular](<a href=“http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html]Why”>Why Nerds are Unpopular)</p>
<p>Liverpool you don’t need to separate everybody between popular and nerdy haha. they’re all just people. no more no less. friends are friends. if some people like other other people then they hang out together. it’s not complicated, i think you just caught yourself up in everything and forgot who you were and that’s why you needed to “change completely”</p>
<p>No ■■■■■, I meant to but emphasis on the fact that when I started to act like myself, I lost alot of my old preppy friends (meaning they weren’t really my friends) and gained new , nerdier friends who like me for who I am.
“They’re all just people” - Oh, god. You make me sound like a monster that views “nerds” as things rather than people. 
(which isn’t true just to let you know…)</p>
<p>haha. it could just be a Canadian thing… :P</p>
<p>I do not understand that joke and I think that I am a nerd.</p>
<p>Good advice, Monkeesox. Nerdfighters are AMAZING people. They’re funny, successful, and just plain awesome. Check out the vlogbrother’s YouTube channel. Read any of John Green’s books (though I believe “The Fault in Our Stars” is the most popular). WATCH DOCTOR WHO.</p>
<p>I just attended VidCon, an event almost entirely populated by nerdfighters, and it was the best time of my life. And no, not just because it’s basically a weekend-long party. I was surrounded by awesome, nerdy people–people just like me! I was finally at a concert where I could listen to songs that I LIKED! I think I yelled the loudest when “An Awful Lot of Running” by Chameleon Circuit was played just before the opening address. I made myself hoarse screaming at Hank Green during the concert. And even when I was just roaming the Expo hall, checking out all the cool tables and steeling countless tootsie rolls from that booth next to the wall you could write on, I still felt like I was having the time of my life. Just being surrounded by so many awesome people, all wearing shirts or costumes with various inside jokes–that was amazing. To know that I was part of such an awesome community–that was amazing. To be able to proudly wear a My Little Pony/Doctor Who shirt and get TONS of compliments on it–THAT WAS AMAZING. Being a nerd isn’t a bad thing! It’s really, really great. It means being able to be yourself, to display what you love proudly and know that other people–awesome people–love it too. It means being a part of a community–a really cool community that will love you for who you are. Basically…it’s the best thing you can be.</p>
<p>DFTBA!!! (Don’t forget to be awesome)</p>
<p>Don’t stop being a nerd, but start being more sociable and friendly. You’ll make more friends that way. Be so chill that when someone talks smack about you, people won’t believe him.</p>
<p>i feel like TARDISgirl deserves something for breathing new life into this 3-year-old thread.</p>
<p>Embrace it! 
I’m a nerd too! I care about school and my grades and I love to learn and like you, I play sport and participate in clubs. I’m also really social, and get along with a lot of different people and if I don’t like them, I ignore them. I also “embrace” my nerdiness. I don’t get called a nerd, but even if I did, I wouldn’t care because I like the fact that I’m responsible and have a love of learning. You should do the same, especially if it’s a part of who you are! Also, if people don’t like the way you are, they aren’t worth your time anyway. The 2 friends you have must be awesome if they know who you are and still accept you for it. It’s okay if you only have 2 because quality is always better than quantity. I have lots of people I hang out with, but only 1-2 are ones that I feel like I could actually count on. Also, remember that TIME FLYS. REALLY QUICKLY. I still remember being a freshmen, but now I’m a junior! It happened so fast. </p>
<p>All in all, do not change yourself to be less nerdy. It is not a flaw. If there’s anything anyone should change about themselves, it is to be friendly, honest, and open-minded. Hang in there and be who you are; you’ll thank yourself in the long run! :)</p>
<p>EDIT: WOW! Did not realize this was 3 years old! Well, I’m sure it’ll be helpful to the newer nerds on here. :D</p>
<p>Stick with it. My best friends are all nerds, albeit different types of nerd (one friend and I are more science/math nerds, while a couple of the others are history nerds).
Also, you can laugh at the Schrodinger jokes on Big Bang Theory.</p>
<p>FastNeutrino–I love the ThinkGeek.com shirt that says on the front “Schrodinger’s cat is dead” and on the back “Schrodinger’s cat is not dead.”</p>
<p>This thread is three years old? Seriously, I just saw the word “nerdfighter” and freaked out a little. That’s why I posted XD</p>
<p>DFTBA!!!
(yeah, I think I’ll end all my posts with that…)</p>
