Myeah, I feel like I fit that description too, which kinda makes me think none of us are in fact jocks in any circle. Just nerds.

I agree. I'm miles away from being a jock but I like sports and competition which does not align to a stereotypical nerd (still nonetheless a nerd though).

Well then don't be surprised lol.

I went to a jock school. I'm not sure if I would've wanted to find other league players. All league players I meet IRL are pretty trash at the game (I'm looking at you, Asmo).

My freshman year, there was a kid in my Discrete Math class that played SC2. He was better than I was (not saying too much), but he's pretty crap at league.

More of a "gaming" circle than a "nerd" circle. No one in my group geeks out about anything else other than games.

this popped up on Reddit a few months ago. It was made and recorded by (I think) a math teacher. It's so good.

I actually find hanging around in certain nerd circles pretty uncomfortable even though I'm about as nerdy as it gets.

As an example, one time a gregarious non-nerd friend told me "oh my goodness I know this other guy who plays video games and you should meet him!" We met, found out we played entirely different video games, then tried not to stare at each other until one of us left.

I have much better luck interacting with other kinds of people, though there are a few exceptions.

this.
As long as you have friends that are chill with your geeky-ness, that in itself is cool enough.
I've never really liked hanging out with other geeks, mostly because they're super socially awkward (yeah i hate that stereotype, but sometimes it's really true).
