Have you ever been bullied for loving Star Wars?🥲
Have you ever felt judged for visiting Disneyland as an adult?🏰
Have you ever felt judged for still watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 2026?🧛♀️
We love being geeks, but we know it is not always easy.😅 There are people out there who will judge you for having different interests, or for what they consider the norm, and what they do not.
Here at Geek Meet Club, we celebrate you exactly as you are.💜
There is always someone who will share your interests here. And even on the days it feels like nobody else gets it, we would still be excited with you, because we know how much these things matter to you.🩷
It is World Mental Health Day on 10 October, so we wanted to share something that backs this up.🧠
Psychologists have found that people who feel more nostalgic tend to feel better about themselves, which in turn opens them up to new experiences and curiosity, both signs of good psychological health.
Studies also show that nostalgia lifts mood, lowers stress, and strengthens feelings of connection to other people.
So when you find comfort in Pokémon, Star Wars, or rewatching Buffy for the tenth time, there is real psychology behind why that makes you feel good.
There is nothing wrong with loving what makes you happy.
Have you ever felt judged for one of your geeky passions?
