Ever feel like a nerd?
 
Sometimes I guess, if you and your friend ever get into a Pokemon chat, and someone else is around you, a cool person in your school, listens as your friend and yours conversation. Then, he makes fun of you, this never personally happened to me, and I hope it never will, do you ever feel like a nerd when you chat about Pokemon with a friend? I surely don't, I play sports. I'm on a private local Basketball and Football team.

Yup, I feel like a nerd sometimes. Like when I get %100 on a test.

HAPPENS EVERYTIME.

EmeraldSerenade April 21st, 2010 6:49 PM

I don't feel like a nerd, i AM a nerd. Its my outside appearance that keeps me in check:3

I talk about nerdy things in public since I don't care about other people's opinions.

Xirr0 April 21st, 2010 7:04 PM

Yeah, I have other interests outside of Pokemon, but I still feel like a nerd.

Mattysaurus April 21st, 2010 7:10 PM

OH GAWD YES.

All the time.
When I outsmart someone, when I play video games, and many more. Ughh.
I hate that feeling.

In general, do I feel like a nerd? Yes, because frankly I am a nerd XD My major in college is Game Design and I always strive for straight A's. And because I like Pokemon, I guess that makes me a nerd too. Me and my bf were watching a Pokemon movie earlier in his dorm and his roommate made fun of us. I didn't care, because he's missing out ;) But just because I am a nerd does not mean that is all that I am. I'm also very musical(played the trumpet for 8 years and performed in school musicals), and athletic(Varsity Volleyball, black belt in Tae Kwon Do, years of softball). So I'm well-rounded in general but I am part nerd and dang proud of it ;)

~ woah that was long XD

Well, I'm more of a geek, but yes, part of that is because I'm a huge nerd. I get really into a lot of the things I enjoy, be it sports (explain a sport while I'm watching it and it will make sense very quickly for me), video games (of course), computers, the internet (eyup, I'm addicted!), or collectibles.

Esper April 21st, 2010 8:25 PM

This is an internet forum for Pokemon fans. Anyone who says they never feel like a nerd is lying to themselves.

I'm not much of a nerd when it comes to video games in general, but I am into history and astronomy which are recognized subcategories of nerdiness.

Timbjerr April 21st, 2010 8:26 PM

I am a nerd, so of course I feel like one. XD

Melody April 21st, 2010 8:42 PM

I'm totally a nerd. <3

And I'm damn proud of it. :D

Seriously, being a nerd/geek isn't an insult, it's a compliment. :D

mikey April 22nd, 2010 10:22 AM

Haha, sometimes. Like when I talk to my friends about the latest Naruto or Bleach manga chapter in school, or when I get a 100% on a test xD

Sammi April 22nd, 2010 10:37 AM

Of course. I'm 20 years old and have been playing Pokemon for 10 years. Why wouldn't I feel like a nerd? :p

Not only do I play Pokemon, but I play other video games as well, and I write. And my writing brings out the worst nerdiness out of me. Thankfully 99.9% of that is hidden where everyone else can't see it. :D Really all of my hobbies scream 'nerd' to me. I'm cool with that.

Magik?! April 24th, 2010 12:44 AM

I feel like a nerd any time I'm with my close friends, because we always get into discussions about gaming, or maths, or science... or something terribly uncool like that. I don't mind though because we feel sorry for the people in our school who feel that being a nerd is negative >.>

They don't seem to understand that nerdy jobs pay way better than normal jobs :) So we're alright. (Plus we get to talk about Pokemon and feel superior) xD
There are times when I try to act not so nerdy though v.v

loliwin April 24th, 2010 1:00 AM

Oh yes, I really feel like a nerd when I visit PC. :D

You don't hate that feeling, don't lie - that's the perfect platform for you to gloat and you know it. :B

I usually feel like a nerd when my knowledge about something causes a conversation to become awkward - frinstance, I was talking about Zelda with one of my friends and I said something she didn't know how to reply to and it became awkward. That said, I don't mind it really. I'd rather know a lot about something than hardly anything. It means when I do meet someone who knows a lot, we can have a kickass conversation (amirite?).

Wings Don't Cry April 24th, 2010 1:40 AM

Do nerds talk about computer specs, gaming and anime with their friends at school?

If yes then I don't feel like a nerd, I am one.

Spinor April 24th, 2010 8:06 AM

I feel more of a Nerd/Geek hybrid. I do awesome in Math, Science, and Technology, but I seem to suck and get bored in English and History...

It's no surprise my Progress Report came with a 69 in English and a 100 in Algebra 2 XP

ConR April 24th, 2010 8:24 AM

I guess i am a nerd, i go for all the high grades usually get them. I love computers and video games, but I have a rather good social life, i party, id say im rather fashionable so my outside appearance often gives people a different idea of me.

RYOUKI April 24th, 2010 8:46 AM

No, since everyone here also plays Pokemon, but for other things, yes. "It's a misconception that a person who likes reading and wears glasses is good at school."

Yusshin April 24th, 2010 8:48 AM

I don't study. Nerds study. I like to read, though, but that makes me a bookworm, and not a nerd.

I'm a geek, though.

Honest April 24th, 2010 10:02 AM

xD, well, I do go to the best school in my state, so sometimes, yes. But if you just took a look at me, you wouldn't think that I was. =P

As for anything Pokemon related.... >_>. In 7th grade, we were in computer lab. I was on PC and my email which sends all my PC email. I get of for a quick second to use the bathroom, then I come back seeing one of my friends announcing every PC email in my Inbox. >_> That was when I felt like a real nerd. =''(

Captain Hobo. April 24th, 2010 11:57 AM

Yes, because I am smart for my age.

I have that happen in 9th grade, minus the person picking on me.

Smart =/= nerd. There are people who are generally smart, then there are nerds [people who are uber-smart in certain subjects].

Anyways, I've always been a bookworm and a gamer, even though the bookworm part doesn't exist anymore due to me having the internet. I still read alot regardless. After all, there's not much of a difference...

Serene Grace April 24th, 2010 12:25 PM

I am a moderator on a Pokemon forums who likes to take apart computers and design websites for fun. Yes, yes I am.

It doesn't stop me from being smooth with the ladies.. or playing for my school football team.. or still being able to hang out with the cool crowd.

On second thought, I'm not a nerd. I'm me.
