Actually, my husband sort of falls into this category. But he's not too awkward. Just a little shy.

I work in a field of science where this is extremely common. I'm so used to socially awkward geniuses that I honestly barely even notice the awkwardness anymore. Makes me wonder how awkward people think I am... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-really-smart-but-socially-awkward-people#post-489928 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:14:51 +0000 mediagirl 489928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-really-smart-but-socially-awkward-people#post-489925 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 21:13:58 +0000 MaisyMay 489925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's 2 best friends!

He's very sweet though. But kinda socially awkward. I actually know several engineers like this in my department. They all do really well (financially) and have families and some friends, so maybe it's not so bad! lol</p> <p>Do you know any intelligent but socially awkward people? </p>
