unbibiumwhen I was in high school my physics teacher suggested I join the chess club. I thought I was too unpopular and joining the chess club would just make it worse. so I didn't spend high school getting better at chess or learning how to compete...
and my brother made fun of Star Trek and I wanted to downplay my fandom so I told him he could shoot me in the head if I learned Klingon. so I didn't learn Klingon even when I was messing around with languages in college.
and there's a bunch of stuff I didn't get into because it would put me in a group that people didn't like.
don't do that, people. there's no payoff. You'll still be weird, you'll just be a less interesting variant of weird.
