Read Time:2 Minute, 3 Second


It’s a wonderful time to be alive for geeks. Where we were considered as social pariahs twenty years ago, we moved up in society somehow and reclaimed our rightful place among ordinary people. Even a step further has gone – geeks are cool now!

If you wondered what it was like to be a geek, here are a few telltale signs that you can keep an eye on knowing if you’re a geek or not. Now again it’s just my observation, let me know me if you agree with me or not in the comment section below, and follow Hupshup for more such posts, click the bell icon and never miss an update.

You Know The Difference Between Marvel And DC Heroes

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

You won’t be asking people why Batman hasn’t shown up in Avengers yet – and you never will. You keep your franchises apart as you should, unlike me, I have been criticized by my friends for the same.

You Get Obsessed Over Your Passions

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

You don’t buy one thing, you buy it all and constantly search for information about things you don’t already have. You want the best – and possibly the best after that, too.

You Enjoy Things More Than People

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

Whether it’s your collection of books, a board game or a gaming console: you can’t wait to get rid of others so you can do what you really enjoy.

Grammar is Important To You

  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

Reading things like “your being difficult” makes your eyeballs twitch a little. Proper grammar is just a sign of respect, isn’t it?

You Meet Most People Online

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

I mean, this kind of makes sense considering geeks would rather avoid social gatherings, right? Meeting people online is far less intrusive, this makes them keep their space.

You Like Being Busy

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

Well, maybe not physically busy, but you like having your mind occupied. Doesn’t matter what it is, really. Just as long as it makes you think. Moreover, if you try to keep yourself occupied to keep your mind away from things you are one!

You Actually Know All The Names of The Game of Thrones Characters

  • Facebook

  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn

There are so many of them, you’d have to be somewhat of a geek to remember all of them, right?
