Someone who is brilliant (or thinks/acts like they are), wants to reach out and make friends (but they don't always know how), and has so many conflicting, intense thoughts that they end up being completely misunderstood by the rest of the community.
A dork thinks their glasses make them look pretty darn sharp, but sometimes they'd kill to ditch them for a day and just be normal. Of course, they wouldn't tell you that. A dork doesn't want to seem self-conscious, and tries to accept their own dorkiness in the hopes that everyone else will. A dork wants to do something great with their life, but feels limited by time, space, and stereotypes.
Deep down, a dork is just a normal kid with a ginourmous IQ who just wants to be accepted as the eerily smart kid that they are.
