nerd

According to the dictionary definition I am 50% nerd, so I have a failing grade according to educational standards, and therefor I am not good at it.

Wikipedia:
Nerd is a derogatory slang term for a person typically described as intellectual, socially-impaired, and obsessive who spends inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, obscure, or highly technical pursuits, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Nerds are considered to be awkward, shy, and unattractive. (i don't know if you're unattractive but i'm assuming so)

so

10/10 through and through nerd

You sound like you have a bad case of being a friend, most people who say they are above average intelligence are.

[aludane]

You have something called human.

[Thompson]

You have something called human.

I am a friend apparently, not human.

[Böltster]

I am a friend apparently, not human.

well he is right, generally people who say that about themselves are massive cunts

but you're definitely a nerd

[Thorax]

You sound average. Seriously.


1. Being comfortable socially is either something you're born with or something you develop over time.  You just need to practice taking to people and gain a bit of self confidence.
2. Use it to do well in school and not slack off. Also, because you're "averagely" smarter than others, don't write them off as "stupid". There are plenty of people who know squat about certain topics, but are experts on others.
3. Everyone procrastinates. Some are just more prone than others. It's really something you have to work on and you can get better at it over time if you keep working at it. Procrastination is something I really struggle with, I have to find the importance of whatever it is that I'm doing. For example, I had a really hard time doing homework in school. It wasn't that I didn't know the material, but rather, I didn't see the point in doing the work because I already knew it. I almost failed because of this attitude. And though I did finish highschool, my GPA was crap. Now that I'm in college, I've found motivation in doing the work because it's costing me thousands of dollars to take the classes. If you're like me, try finding importance in what your doing and use that to motivate you.
4. Everyone is OCD to some degree. I get OCD about the status of my hand; they have to be clean, dry and not greasy/sweaty (my hands don't sweat naturally). It's something you have to learn to live with and with time, you'll learn to ignore/get over it.
5. That's just personal preference, nothing abnormal.
6. As if I hadn't said this enough, this is something you get better about over time. Just be open minded about trying new things. If not, be willing to pick off things you absolutely can't live with, or just be polite and refrain from eating (and not complain about hunger afterwards).
7. Paranoia is something you just have to live with. You never really outgrow it, but you do deal with it better the older you get. Figure out what makes your paranoid and try eliminating as many of those things as possible.
8. Again, really regular and it's something that changes over time. Everyone requires different levels of sleep to be able to function, some need more, others need less.

Again, you're normal, those are all parts of just growing up.


EDIT: If you disregard this, I'm re-diagnosing you as an attention whore.

I agree with Aludane. Thorax covered it but I'll add my own views too.

OCD and social anxiety (or simply awkwardness) are very common problems.

Intelligence varies from people to people. There is always someone dumber and smarter than you. Some people consider intelligence to be getting good grades. Other consider it to mean you know a lot of facts and trivia. Some people are just intelligent and skillful in one area. That is how I see it at least.

Procrastination is a daily part of life for just about everyone.

Some people like the cold more than the hot. I like my bedroom to be cold but my bed to be warm personally, where as the rest of my family like their rooms to be warm and have electric blankets or panel heaters on the walls. I like to put the air conditioner on and be cool sometimes when its warm outside, when other members of my family claim its "too cold". Point is everyone likes different temperatures.

Picky eating is subjective. Not everybody likes the same thing. Some people have weaker taste than others. Ever heard of the "super taster" theory?

Dunno what to say about paranoia. Depends what you mean by that.

As for sleep, that is another really common issue. The exact amount required varies for person to person. Five hours sleep isn't great for an average. Eight is recommended (and more for teenagers).

What the richards?

Why am I not surprised that I have all of these too?
