The other way around is true as well. Smart people sometimes get rejected by peers and some often prefer solitude. Solitude doesn't need to manifest in loneliness though. But you rarely meet a luminary that doesn't need a lot of alone time or is unhappy with a lot of it. There were studies that people generally get happier with more socialization with the exception of smart people that get unhappy with too much of it. But there are also exception to this rule. You might prefer alone time and you might still be dumb as a brick.
