Nerdy. That's what I am. People despise me despite my academically intellectual mind. Is it my fault that I'm socially incapacitated? I think not. I'm just too serious and focused to even think of popularity and parties that other teenagers my age are so obsessed with. In that world of hypocrites and fakes, I find myself alone, drinking in my misfortunes in the world of party-goers.
Sulking and moping around have been part of my daily routine as I've realized I'll never be given a chance to be accepted, respected, loved. Looking for the only thing that could accept me as I am without misjudgments and misconceptions, I found myself slowly attracted to the mystical world of MMORPG.
Supernatural beings awoke and befriended me and I can't help but accept that loving gesture that I have been deprived of in my real world. Seeking the comfort that I need, I found it in the company of cyber-supernatural creatures. Although academically gifted, I have not been once asked an opinion of things as I've always avoided joining groups, in fear of being mocked at again. WoW brought out the best in me. Conquering quests had me use my logical thinking I didn't know I have, has enhanced my analytical thinking, and surprisingly had given me a social life I've always longed for.
I was able to show them what I'm worth of without needing to boast for what I know and without my trying hard to impress them. The knowledge that wasn't recognized had been given credit here as I became a Guild Master. Popularity that I was never longing for had been given freely, of which I willingly accepted. A feeling of respect for myself washed over me. Again, I believed and I respected myself. I lost these two and never thought of gaining it back again. With WoW, everything became possible again.
