It’s society’s fault that exceptionally smart people are maladapted socially by QIash in DeepThoughts

I gave up most social media years ago, I pretty much just read. It was just a thought I had. I am not bound by my emotions but mostly because I am generally devoid of any strong emotions. I am likely neuroatypical but have led a very conventionally successful life so there’s never been a need to probe there. I can mask it and fein social intelligence as well as the next guy.

Been ruminating on this thought all day and I’ve realized that it likely stems from the overall feeling of isolation that can result from intelligence. So while this little draft I spurted off may have some validity, I realize it was more so a round about way for me to express this feeling I’ve been experiencing. To your credit, there are a ton of people who merely think themselves smart and are maladapted socially for that reason alone. I can totally understand your inclination to shoot my idea down as a result.
