What's the deal with the "logical" or "intelligent"

People forgo reason to be liked. Look at secularists, instead of them arguing against the irrationality of faith they adopt this bullshit co-exist bullshit to avoid conflict.

Math grad here, doing pretty well.
This year I tried to go hermit mode (no roommate, go home after class/work) and I thought it worked pretty well. I am fairly introverted and I don't really like to have people in my place when I don't want them there. That being said, I'm particularly antisocial, I do enjoy talking to people, parties (if I have friends with me) etc. I just don't like having people at home all the time.
I don't think the other people who came in the same year as I did are particularly antisocial either.
Many are somewhat introverted but not to the point of shutting everyone out: They have friends they see regularly, they talk to people etc. Some are also involved in the student association and plan parties and other events.

Jeez you seem like a butthurt social butterfly.

Anyway what leadership workshop is this, that seems strange there are plenty of antisocial folks that are just idiots.

>I'm sick of people using these studies and claims however to justify antisocial or irresponsible behavior.
Those statements weren't value judgements so they weren't 'justifying' antisocial behavior. You're just taking the connotation of words in factual (whether true or false) statements and extrapolating into things that weren't said. (Insert bantz about how if you weren't an illogical social butterfly you might have recognized this.)

I'm as biased as anyone else who is going to respond to this but my immediate reaction is that the average person is dumb and emotional so if you are logical and get annoyed by fallacious reasoning you're not going to want to be around them. I've known smart people who are much more extroverted than me so I don't think introversion is a necessary condition for intelligence, but I'd totally believe there's a correlation.

The other day I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAdvcmogGwI

I was looking into info on why the hell I'm so damn literal. I asked Google and the first forums talked about Aspergers. Then I saw this guy's video. From what I understand he says that most normal people focus on "socialization, emotional, and executive function" where as people with Aspergers focus on "Sensory, awareness, and focus".

I think I'm just way to analytical and I'm being increasingly literal. I speak to people and shit and when I ask a question they ask as if I "meant" something else. I swear I'm like the question I asked was not answered correctly. They'll assume I meant some other shit I didn't even say if you dissect my question and I basically just wasted my fucking time. I ask questions in a very direct "what I say is what I mean" way because there is a specific piece of information I'm getting too and it just backfires. I don't know HOW to communicate in the manner other people do. I don't think I'm a genius because of that but I do think other people are stupid for not being able to answer my questions when I ask them. I can answer theirs just fine.

communication is a skill. being shitty at it is not an indication of intelligence.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics. It's a good indication that when you look for trends, and make generalisations from research and stats you are ignoring part of your population.

Karl Popper said science is about deciding what you can leave out.
