There are a lot of super smart people. That's typically not a reason not to hang out with someone. I only hang out with smart people ( for social and romantic encounters I mean).

I find it interesting how people state some reasons why others don't hang out with them: too heavy, too smart etc in my experience it's never true reason. Lack of social skills could be addressed in therapy, perhaps IMHO. My BF sometimes has trouble in social situations due to severe OCD and Tourette's but he isn't oblivious about it, he pretty much knows sometimes it's not easy for others to handle him. But he is doing great after years of cbt and learning strategies.

I think unless one nails down why others avoid him/her, she/he will never improve
