One of the engineers in my department is a genius but won't make eye contact with me! 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
Do you know any intelligent but socially awkward people?

My husband's 2 best friends! They are 26 and 27, never been on dates, go to comic conventions, and are incredibly smart.

Umm, yes! 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...

I think most of the incredibly smart people I know are socially awkward ...

I work with all engineers, so uh...they're almost all socially awkward, yet super smart!

DH and both my brothers are computer scientists/engineers but are all remarkably well-adjusted and social. They're the exception, though.

Ummm yeah. I'm an engineer so I went to school and work with a lot of people like that!!! I don't think I am though, so it's not all engineers

Several people my husband works with! Actually, my husband sort of falls into this category. But he's not too awkward. Just a little shy. (And, he's an engineer and works with all engineers.... so....)
