Is this still the case in 2019?
I was friendless (not bullied) for much of middle and highschool (2006-2010ish) not because I was nerdy, but because I was socially awkward and didn't make any attempt to fix it until later in highschool. It feels like a lot of people are mad at the show making fun of socially awkward people, which is completely separate from being nerdy.
- mcguire 7y agoThat's actually part of the problem: those two are seen as the same.
- saipii 7y agoIs this a problem in real life? If I start talking to a stranger, my nerd level doesn't come into play. My ability to have a normal conversation is the only thing that really matters.
- mcguire 7y ago... until you mention something something stereotypically nerdy, after which you are treated like you have the socializability of a cardboard box.
