I think being a nerd is great if you fully embrace being a nerd. You can't just half-ass it. My life improved about 500% around age 22 when I decided to crank my nerd up to the max, and have been very happy ever since.
For example, my fiance and I LOVE being nerds. We met at comic-con, like to dress up in costumes like freaks, play an unhealthy amount of video games, go to the geekiest parties, produce a webcomic, play D&D, and quote nerdy movies at EVERY given opportunity. When I proposed to her, it was at comic-con, and was the culmination of a scavenger hunt involving volunteer cosplay steampunk mad scientists, the venture brothers, and troopers from the 501st.
Life is good.
