Curious. Were you one of the popular kids in high school or a nerd that came into his or her own later in life? I'd say I was the latter, but curious about the rest of fishbowl.

Super nerd. Still super nerdy and awkward with people, just with an alcohol tolerance that lets me be sociable enough at happy hours to get by in this job. If pre-consulting me saw me now, though, he'd already be flabbergasted by how much more sociable I am now

D4, lol really? Popular does not equate to not being book smart. I was good in class but hella popular and stylish and still am.

Popular enough to be on homecoming court (but not enough to be queen), nerdy enough to be voted most likely to succeed (but not enough to be valedictorian). 💁

Wow! Seems most of the people here were nerds... a little surprised

I definitely started off as the biggest nerd/awkward kid. Didnt even look people in the eye when speaking to them, like AT ALL. But I became progressively social after my first year in high school, and now I pretty much have an united supply of social energy and can talk to almost anyone.

For those of you struggling with social anxiety or awkwardness, it can definitely get better if you work at it!
