Yes, it becomes anti-social from a common perspective.
But society is retarded.
Knowledge demands better standards of peer selection, and degrees of isolation. Academies and utopias are based on ascetic, monastic life.
But it's still a popularity contest. That knowledge which influences us, with convincing methods, compelling and relevant art is what lives on. Knowledge that exists only for one man, a hermit, is not knowledge at all.

I think that whether one has "a great amount of knowledge" or not is a matter of perspective. Granted, some humans may possess a great fund of knowledge in comparison to other humans. But from the standpoint of eternity (sub specie aeternitatis), who can really claim to know F (a given set of facts or sets of facts) abundantly? The entire accumulation of human science could probably be placed in a thimble. Those who really have "a great amount of knowledge" have ascertained this one fact (cf. Socrates). Geniuses such as Thomas Aquinas, Albert Einstein and reportedly Carl G. Jung have all testified to the meager amount of knowledge humans possess.
However, if one could speak of some humans as having great knowledge, I would have to say that those we normally regard in this way tend to be less sociable rather than more sociable or gregarious.

I would say less. Not that I have a great amount of knowledge, but by experience the more I learn the more difficult it is to converse with others. I am not sure why--but I think that the more knowledgeable one is the more difficult it is to convey ones ideas and feelings; it also becomes extremely irritating to converse with those who are full of ill logic and contradictory statements. Also the more you learn, the less you want to discuss mundane insignificant topics such as weather and decorating ones kitchen (bad work experience where a girl continuously discusses her kitchen decor--very irritating).

It has no bearing as far as I'm concerned. A person is sociable or not. Those that have great knowledge and don't socialize with those that have less are knowledgeable but stoopid.

It is the shallow water that makes much noise. The Deep sea rumbles.
The more you know the more undersanding you have of society and it make you all the more appreciative of the fads and foibles of the social manners. You become all the more tolerant.Even if you may know that some member is behaving foolishly you are not angry with him. You rather pity him/her for a Christ said on the Cross, ' O lord, forgive them(the crucifiers) for they don't know what they are doing!" Such depth comes only through knowledge.So drink deep at the fountain or learning as Alexander Pope advises.

Generally, less. One realizes that there's too much drama and ignorance, and doesn't want to be involved. On the other hand, there are exceptions, those who want to share their knowledge with the world.

it style of feels to me while we've been in our 20s all and sundry knew all and sundry and communities of human beings might merely settle directly to circulate do something mutually like trip out to the coastline or circulate pay attention a band- yet as we've been given into our 30s we've been much greater selective and in basic terms right into some close acquaintances, our careers and households etc. The humorous factor is now that we are in our Fifties we are seeing countless the previous human beings back and its we observed the for all time even even with the undeniable fact that we rarely observed them in 20 years. i'm speaking approximately people who have been youthful with us and nevertheless stay interior an identical community. i'm uncertain you are able to combat against it.

Depends on who he is around. With knowledgeable, pretty socia;able. With others with less of the stuff, perhaps inert.

less, because the guy girl would have this thirst to keep learning, unless theyre a procrastinator like me and they will lose knowledge, you have to stick to maybe a couple of friends to keep your identity as a genius

I agree with Proufrocker's statement but i also think it has 60% to do with your social skills to begin with.
