Why is it that when people realise you are smart they automatically assume you are a geek?
Please, someone enlighten me, I would really like to know why a person who is intelligent is automatically deemed as having zero social life and "boring" interests.
Can I not have the ability to use proper English, read books, count properly and generally get good grades as well as have a social life?
And why is there such an opprobrious attitude to being a geek/nerd?
Why is it so utterly terrible to have a functioning brain in your head? Can one not be erudite in various subjects and enjoy accumulating knowledge (which normally leads to wisdom) as well as being a social and fun person?
