- enw 6y agoThis is an unfortunate stereotype, and something that honestly made me loathe other "nerds" in high school. I often felt alone, as every other computer nerd felt like a caricature, rigid, deeply unfun and unnecessarily draconian in their lifestyle. It was a huge relief to go to university and see other smart people passionate in computers, who would still drink, smoke, be social and confident looking like fools.
