Why do normies think if you have no social skills you're retarded?
I've always been quiet in school and someone spread a rumor that I was retarded even thought I didn't take any special needs classes and grades were pretty high on average.
Some sort of halo effect. If you're good at one thing you are assumed to be good at all things, and the converse.
It's not entirely unfounded, as most things tend to be cross-correlated. But statistics are best used to explain populations than individuals.

because for some reason normies think not being like them is literally impossible for an intelligent and rational human being and that you must be some kind of alien or turbo retard if you aren't a complete extrovert social butterfly like the rest of the world. or at least that's how it feels sometimes.
i get people talking down to me like i'm a fucking child all the time.
you just learn to get used to it.

people at work were nice to me and treated me normally but now because I'm quiet and barely say anything they're always condescending towards me.
