A => B != B => A.
There are a large number of people who are not highly intelligent who have negative social experiences as teenagers for other reasons. There are very few people who have high intelligence (140+ IQ) and positive social experiences in adolescence.
- Retric 18y agoI took a fairly normal route though school graduating at 16 with a B average despite a high IQ. Anyway, for the most part I enjoyed high school and hated middle school. But, I spent most of my time trying to have fun and minimize the time I spent doing things I hated. If anything I found my IQ helped by reducing the amount of time I spent keeping up. My older sister also has a high IQ and ended up salutatorian etc, but she still had fun and a fairly large social group. My younger sister is an "Artist" who still managed to become the valedictorian and had a great time in high school. She even got into calarts.edu which is insanely exclusive. So apparently even if you focus on academics you can still have a good time. PS: It's not hard to make large groups of people like you if you just try. IMO, the problem with many high IQ people is they don't like talking with normal people and fail to develop social skills.
