In what way does this analysis of a caricature (based on sitcom character!) resemble reality? Is this really the most sophisticated thing we can say? that "nerds" don't like society because it's illogical?
Color me underwhelmed.
- ErrantX 17y agoVery little. Also, in my experience (including personal experience in the past and observing friends handling the same difficulties now), most of the inability to fit meet social norms is driven by fear more than any other factor.

- orblivion 17y agoI take this attitude, but for things like arbitrary table manners. I have a friend who doesn't understand the idea of wearing a suit to interviews. Or to some degree, button down shirts ("the buttonless kind covers me just fine"). So it varies.
