Having high IQ can really be a detriment. Having the social awareness to tone it down and use it to your benefit is where it’s at.

Sometimes the general populace doesn’t want that pie in the sky 6 dollar word thinking.

You have to learn to play to your audience

Think high IQ people aren't locked in their own heads. Probably autistic which enables extreme concentration in one area. The logical type of thinking these people have makes it difficult to understand something as unrestrained as human behavior outside of a strict textbook knowledge.

More the rule than the exception.

The garbage that average, and below average, IQ people find interesting and funny just escapes them. It all seems trivial and not worth wasting time on because it is. They find human interaction exhausting and need solitary time to recharge. You just have to get into a crowd and look around at what surrounds you to see how basic most humans are.

I learned early that small talk is a valuable social skill. Americans, by and large, are far more chatty than most other nationalities. We find it awkward to sit in a room and just mind our own business.

Smart phones have changed that dynamic a lot but there is still the frequent occasion of being chatted up by a complete stranger in a waiting room, airport, etc. Generally speaking, we think of extroverts as likable and introverts as suspicious.

They are on the spectrum.
