What if I am not a "geek"?

The term "geek" has evolved significantly over time. Originally used as a derogatory term for someone seen as socially awkward or overly obsessed with niche interests (like technology, comics, or science fiction), it's now often worn as a badge of pride. Today, being a "geek" usually means someone is deeply passionate and knowledgeable about a particular subject—whether it's coding, video games, anime, mathematics, or even things like vintage cars or baking.

Being a geek isn’t just about obsession—it's about connection through passion. Geeking out over something becomes a way to express yourself and discover others who resonate with that same energy. That mutual enthusiasm can spark conversations, friendships, and even lifelong bonds.
