Before anyone blames me for being arrogant, please read the whole story first.

I am a 25 year old male. I come from a wealthy family, I am an average looking guy and I consider myself quite intelligent. All my siblings and cousins are "winners" (douchebags), they hang out with other wealthy and attractive people and go to bars, parties, etc. However, I am a calm and shy guy with nerdy hobbies, like videogames and animes.

I am quite geeky and my friends are all geeky as well. The difference is that most of my friends look like the kind of people that go to Star Trek conventions, their geekiness is noticeable from miles away.

I like my friends and I like all the geeky activities we usually do. We are all good friends and have a great time... however... I notice that they sometimes act quite resentful towards me. They make ill-intentioned comments about my appearance or my wealth. Usually, when we discuss about something and I am winning the argument, they tell me stuff like "you know nothing, you are just a spoiled pretty-boy afterall".

I doesn't matter what I do, how humble I try to be, how not-vain I try to appear... no one from this "world" recognizes me for what I truly am: just another geek.

I know girls are usually like this... but I think this is the only situation I have seen where guys act like this... So... is this common?

    I think they're hinting that they'd like you to share their wealth. A new gfx card or a road trip to comic-con would definitely not go unappreciated. Geeks can be surprisingly materialistic.

    I know what you mean ky friends all look up to me and sometimes get mad at me when I do better then them. I jest lost a friend because I'm more attractive and she is a homosexual so she gets picked on but all I got to say is as long as you get along more then argue it worth it uther wise in its not. By the way I love amines to!!! (its not to lame). :)

    You say that your siblings friends are douchebags, yet, you judging them makes you exactly that. And for what it's worth, you are arrogant.

    Your friends sound jealous. Maybe you need to find some new ones.
