There is a thin line between genius and madness. All reading this have to see the article titled "What a shaman sees in a mental institution". Some of the most brightest individuals were introverts and had what some would call personality disorders. Einstein was known to be extremely socially awkward and would mutter theorems to himself. Tesla was an introvert preferring isolation, allowing the mind to be uncluttered by external influence. He also had vivid hallucinations even in a room full of people. And yet some of his greatest discoveries came came from his moments of altered consciousness.
