Do you believe IQ is directly linked to the lack of social skills?
I have always had a problem assuming everyone else gets what I am trying to imply, even with shorter sentences - but over the 26 years of my life I learned that was not true at all.
So essentially my learning of "why do I suck at socialising" had always been linked to learning "what are people not aware of", rather than somehow being "socially incapable".
