Why does this happen? Theyre so smart but so introverted.

Normally because they actually think before opening their mouths.

Saw this quote and I thought of you Slo:

In our time, when men seem more than ever to confuse wisdom with knowledge and knowledge with information and to try to solve the problems of life in terms of engineering, there is coming into existence a new kind of provincialism which perhaps deserves a new name. It is a provincialism not of space but of time--one for which history is merely a chronicle of human devices which have served their turn and have been scrapped, one for which the world is the property solely of the living, a property in which the dead hold no share. -- T.S. Eliot

Why does this happen? I see it all too often...theyre so smart but so introverted.


this theory is just something ugly people came up with to feel better about themselves


if you're really all the smart/knowledgeable you have a width and breadth of a variety of subject matter to at a minimum have a simple conversation with anyone

TJ had to quote that. He can’t spell at least three of the words in the quoted sentence.

It's hard talking to someone so much dumber than you. It's like a normal person trying to talk to a rock.

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.

Because they can't relate to those with lower thought processes. I'm sure you baws would feel awkward with a physicist.
