I totally agree. People tend to associate computer geekery with loneliness and social ineptness, but I think what's actually happening is the solitary nature of hacking attracts the loners. Another facet of this is the fact that hackers tend to think overly quantitatively about the world, and try to approach everything from a 100% logical standpoint. The real world dynamics have feelings, emotions, and totally irrational behavior. Continuing to moan about how everyone else doesn't see the light of logic and retreating to hacking technology which does follow a strict guideline is self-detrimental. Learning to hack society is also interesting and has potentially larger pay-offs.
