People who are drawn towards programming are people who were shut out in high school. Computers don't judge, video games don't give you swirlies, and pocket protectors don't say you have cooties. I am drawn toward computers and programming myself because I don't particularly like being around people. I find most people are untrustworthy, gossipping, rude, political, and judgemental and those are qualities I don't want to learn to accept. I have few friends, if any, and I like it that way. I try to be self-sufficient and don't rely on other people. I am what I am and I don't expect anybody will ever accept me for that.
Funny thing is, I could have been an athlete if I had been socially acceptable. Also, I am not your typical nerd, but I understand them better than I should.
