Why geniuses are usualy weird or eccentric?
Perhaps it’s just a question of strengths. People who are naturally sociable and extroverted are able to focus on and use that part of themselves and rely more on social skills to relate to others and be successful. So called “geniuses”, people with above average intellectual capabilities, tend to focus on their mental development as they see it as a strength of theirs, possibly sometimes to the neglect of social skills or appearing a certain way because it’s not a priority for them. Some people also who are very precise or detail oriented can have eccentric personalities, and while being meticulous and thoughtful can have its benefts, it also has drawbacks in terms of being overanalytical or rigid in thinking.
Eccentric “geniuses” will tend to latch onto one topic and exclude everything else, regardless of what everyone else thinks, whereas “normal” people will adapt and focus on the same things as everybody around them. They are “geniuses” because they think about stuff nobody else ever thinks about. If they spent their time thinking about fitting in, they wouldn’t be eccentric, but they also wouldn’t be geniuses.
