Your 'Social group'

I was an anachronism in high school.I was a "head"(pot smoker),who played three sports(football,baseball,lacrosse).I hung out with the heads and the jocks.I also did very well academically,was a voracious reader,and loved prog and sci-fi and fantasy,so I was considered geeky too.I also played drums in a local metal band called Roadkill(what a stupid name!!!!),and hung out with all the music geeks.

Where is the head/jock/geek option?

I am frequently being called the Antichrist, but I am also Satan, that one really weird kid, stoner, hippie, genius, retard, God and Jesus.

I'd like to add that I really dislike categorizing myself. I prefer being totally original, although I don't succeed all the times, since I'm a human like everyone else and therefore bound to act like everyone else in certain situations. Whatever people label me as, they tend agree that I'm a notorious eccentric, so I've adapted that view of myself aswell, to keep things simple and (relatively) organized.

My government teacher jokingly referred to me as a "communist hippie freak," which was fine except I'm a socialist. I have no objection to being a hippie freak.

All my friends call me a hippie. I don't want to drop  though.

I'm not complaining, though I some times feel like having an IQ of around 140 can create a certain distance between you and your peers(I never even mention my IQ any more, people say stuff like "are you a friggin Einstein or something?" with a look on their face as if I'm from another planet)

    Why do people think that being called Einstein is an insult? It's like saying to a good basketball player "are you a friggin Michael Jordan?". I think I got an IQ of 159 or something like that, just in case anyone was wondering.

it's nice to recieve compliments about being smart and stuff, but people tend to look at you as 'abnormal' for some reason. it kind of turns out like bands that become known for making weird, abnormal music instead of becoming known for making good music, if that's a plausible analogy to use :p

My friends always call me the wierd one. I guess the first option would work for me. Although I'm not that interested in being in a "social group" or anything like it.

I’m part of the cool dudes group at school but I don’t hang out with them because I think they are idiots. I drew the line when they started drinking and smoking.

That's my other group!



Also, some people call me a "genius," but I don't think I am. I know I'm very intelligent, but I think someone has to prove their genius. I don't care if your IQ is 160 and you're a technical genius, you're not a genius in my book. Guys like Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Stephen Wilson have proven their genius. They are true geniuses.
