Excessive interest in superheroes, comic books, video games, etc. seems to be the defining characteristic of being nerdy these days, and honestly I couldn't care less about any of them. Even in the early days of Pokemon, while I enjoyed the show I was never obsessed enough to memorize all 150 Pokemons or buy any of the merchandise associated with the show.
The thing is, I've always viewed myself as nerdy because I was the straight-A type of student who always had her head buried in a book. Although I no longer have the sort of thirst for knowledge due to major depression, this particular lack of interest makes me feel... out of place? Like even among self-identified nerds I'm not the right kind of nerd?
Can anyone else relate to this?
