"Nerd" -- has two meanings, which, in some people are both true:
1. An academic, a person of intelligence who is passionate about ideas, and...
2. A social misfit, a person who (though perhaps very intelligent -- even "brilliant") lacks the skills to make people feel comfortable around them and to communicate the very ideas about which they may be so passionate.
In my case, I was both #1 and #2 till about the age of 12 -- then I lost my virginity, acquired sexual confidence, and learned that the best possible combination for success is not just having the idea, but also being able to make others excited by it -- and to LOVE you for making them excited.
