Isn’t that pure assumption on your part? It could mean ‘I am unable to do small talk’, which is true for many people, especially people on the spectrum, it could have been situationally specific with details the top comment left out, it could be because he prefers to discuss computing, or because (like many people) he truly dislikes empty conversation and has a lot of people trying to talk to him. That little quote taken out of context does not imply or communicate anything about worthiness. Why is your assumption jumping to the most negative possible interpretation of the extremely short detail-free story, when there are simple, likely, and plausible alternatives?
