NerdShame Pride 

to turn one's deep-seated shame of their own nerdiness into a point of pride; to recognize and claim ownership of one's own inherent geekiness.

After years of living in fear of judgment and ridicule, I now have the NerdShame Pride needed to read fanfiction in public. Fandomfuckers beware--Everyone has something truly dorky about them so, step off, bitch.
