~~~~ nəːd/ noun a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious. Rude, right? That was the definition of being a nerd, according to Google anyways. I could probably write a better definition than that, but, I digress. Am I called a nerd? Yes. Do I care? No. Am I socially awkward, boring and introverted? Yes. Do I give a fuck? No. I had this mentality for a long time until the one day where being called a nerd actually hurt me. The day that I was rejected for just being smart but unfortunately boring. I got rejected for being a nerd. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WARNING: Mature content and swearing.
