I thought of that, but later in life I saw how most kids were ok with other kind of "nerds" as long as they were sociable and not ugky.
I remember of a kid who was nerdier than me, but he didn't fit into the usual nerdy social anxiety and he also did boxing as a hobby so he was ok.
I concluded that it was not really about interest.

In other words, cool kids are fine with hanging out with un-cool kids, if it can be done in a way that does not involve un-coolness at all, so they don't become un-cool by association.
