Albert Einstein was socially awkward. Do you think that having Albert be more sociable would be a good trade for him being just an ordinary smart person?


People like that will always be awkward but some might fizzle out if they have a strong connection with friends and no longer see them. Just because someone started a little later doesn’t mean they’ll be less of a scholar. It’s about the drive and want. People still need to work with other people so the ability to work well with others is a very important skill.

I have worked with a lot of scientists, many fit the stereotype of being socially awkward, unable to understand inferred meanings, satire, etc. It would have been a waste of their talent to spend time on social constructs. People with this level of intellect will always have assistants to handle interfacing with outer people at more mundane levels.
