I'm a dork. Huge difference. Nerds at least know things.

I'm fairly non-nerdy, though I like reading fantasy and scifi.

But other than that, nope.

I'm on the border of nerd and geek

Is this a Futurama reference?

Excellent! I like it.

I don't read enough to consider myself a nerd; I'm kind of ignorant. But... I do like nerd topics.

Not only. There are also some communists and furries.

I’d say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, that’s what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Oh shit, I really am a dork.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don't fit in any category :D

Imposter syndrome ❀️

That's the Grey area outside all the circles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Gemini likes to tell me that I’m good in the emotional intelligence area. Haha.

I’m writing a book on adaptations. I wouldn’t consider myself a nerd, but writing a book about adapting works from one medium to another is very nerdy.

I'm not smart enough to be a nerd.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nerd does not imply smart

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yea I’m just weird

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I am not a nerd
