am i normal, nerd, or what?

Question

i grew up speaking english and french. Throughout high school I learned Spanish on my own. Ive read the MCAT twice on my own during my senior year. I work 10 hours on weekends at a restaurant. iIvolunteer 3 hours a week at a hospital. Im thinking of doing pre-med. Ive been to Peru for 2 months as a foreign exchange student. Ive been to France a dozen times to visit family. im a quite and shy person. I dont have too many friends. im the only child and my parents are never home. sometimes i feel depressed because I don't have too many friends. I am an introverted person with many goals to achieve in life. I feel down sometimes because I feel that I am a nerd and a loner. Its hard for me to socialize. so am I normal, nerd, or what?

are there any advantages or disadvantages? i also have a passion for Spanish language, Science, and Culture.

Answer 1

Don't Judge yourself like that!! Please don't think of your self as a nerd or normal or whatever else. Everyone is different and these are terrible labels that no one should use to describe themselves or anyone else. Has someone called you a nerd or something else? Well if they have been calling you a nerd or something people make the mistake of thinking that anyone who is smart is a nerd. That is a lie! They're jealous of you. If you're trying to see which one you are, don't do that you'd be putting yourself down. Think positive things about yourself. You are obviously smarter than calling yourself that kind of stuff. Don't waste your time thinking about that stuff. Jesus loves everyone equally, normal, nerd or whatever.

There is no such thing as "normal" Everyone comes from different places, different backgrounds, and has different experiences. Besides, if there was a "normal" would you really want to be just "normal"? It sounds you me like you are a very intelligent guy who likes to learn and there is nothing negative about that. However, if it really bothers you a lot that you don't have a lot of friends, take little steps like speaking to someone new each day and slowly you will become less shy. Never feel bad or depressed about who you are. Lots of us are weird and strange in our own way, not "normal" Good luck!

You are not a nerd.
You are a wonderful person and don't believe anything less.
Not only you are wonderful, you are blessed and fortunate. You'll probably feel alone because you do not have many friends now. People often confuse friends and acquaintances. What a person needs are true friends and those are few. In a way you are lucky that you do not have many people around you to pull you in too many directions and that allows you to concentrate in your goals. You seem like a very intelligent person with goals to achieve. Try to achieve them first. Study and get a career. After you do, after you are successful, you will find that people will be atracted to you like to a magnet. By then you will be fully grown, will have seen more of life, and will have learned good lessons from your peers failures and accomplishments and from your own. You will know what's good, what is bad and what is dangerous but attractive. When you mature you will find that The important thing if finding people who will care for you, who will not try to harm you in any way, who are loyal. If you have one or two good friends now, you are lucky. Try to keep them. One of the most satisfactory things in life is to have friends that know us from an early age, when we were just plain Johny or Lisa and not when we have titles associated to our names. Don't worry about your shyness, I promise you it wil dissapear. And dont worry about the term nerd. Bill Gates in one of his conferences, said not to worry about being called nerd because those who call you nerd today will be the ones working for you later.
Don't loose sight of your goal and have the tenacity to achieve it. It's hard for very intelligent people to feel 'normal'
because normal comes from the norm the median and you are superior, outstanding and in the category of superior or outstanding you are the norm or normal. Absolutely normal. It is hard to associate with others because, for the most part, they are not like you. Other people not as intelligent as you, will either admire you and think that you would not like to associate with them or envy you and try to put you down. Don't ever let that happen. Have you tried joining the school clubs, a youth group in church? Try joining some constructive club or group. It will eventually help you learn to deal better with people. But DO NOT WORRY. IT WILL HAPPEN. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A GOOD LIFE. God bless you. :)

Answer 7

A small Issue really.Try to be more outgoing and cultivate friends(don't feel shy to spend some money without waiting for immediate returns),be cheerful and smile a lot and you know what.with your brains and background,I think in no time you can have a battery of people to select friends from.The key result area is,'honest try.'Good luck.
