I can't help but wonder whether skipping the 6 grades actually
caused you to have trouble involving yourself in society, or whether
they are both "symptoms," if you will, of the same "disease,"
namely, a very high IQ.  I once read an article about a study that
had been done on married couples which concluded that there is a
strong positive correlation between the closeness of the two
partners' IQ's and the duration of their marriage.  It probably
holds ture for friendships as well.
