You didn't get the point. I have no problem if someone is a genius nor am I cribbing that I am not one. My disappointment is that the interaction with them was not pleasurable. I expected their company to be interesting, enjoyable and as such.

My point was there is no such thing, that's why I said just focus on yourself. In life you will come across people that think too much of themselves, such people lack possessing what is really important, and that is wisdom. On the other hand, you will come across people that do not even realise how they're coming across. I used to know a professor who had Asperger's syndrome. He was a great pharmaceutical chemist, but people did not enjoy his company at all. Despite being great in his own sector, he had much shortcomings in some areas of academia. I got along well with him. I remember one day he treated a student in a manner that was unbecoming, I had to explain to him why he was out of line, then he explained how it was not personal and that he does not realise how he came across and that he had these problems before (that's when I found out about the Aspergers). The point is, people have varying characters. This is independent to this illusionary concept of genius.
