Nerds are often stereotyped as being the type of person that has no social skills, can't handle human contact, and is defined as odd according to social norms. But this isn't true at all! Nerds rule the world because they are brave enough to declare their love for something even if it's in front of complete strangers, and committed enough to build a following around what they love.
Originally NERD a derogatory term and was a stereotype, it has been reclaimed and redefined by some as a term of pride and group identity.
I also give you 6 ways that I think being defined as a NERD can help you in life.
