18 Struggles You Face When You Are The Only Bookworm In Your Group

Bookworm is such an old term. I'm going to call you 'Book Dragons'.

To all my lovely book dragons out there, I feel you. I know exactly what you go through because I am a fan of books myself and the numerous comments and situations I've been through are quite relatable.
You know that feeling you get when you feel like you never really made any friends in the first place so that it could be just the books and you?
Well, now that you are tagged in a picture that has a caption screaming "#SQUAD GOALS!!!"
Don't all those exclamation marks give you a headache? An author would know how and where to utilize them for sure.

Let's get on with struggles we go through in a group.

1. "You are so anti-social!"

"Noooo, I just prefer reading than going out on a Saturday and every other day that follows"

2. "Bhai, no classes today. I booked four tickets for the movie"
"What about that bookworm? Oh. Right"

Me: "Oh my god! Isn't it fun to read the novels? They just brought in new ones. It is so peaceful there. We could do our assignments, then read some fiction or let's speed read some autobiographies? I've never tried them and-"
Friend: Um...I'm going to make out with some guys That's not what you do?"
