Hi Gisele !!!!
Highly Intelligent people are often seen as weird because,
they are missunderstood or not understood at all.
Just like JESUS THE LORD, when HE was in this world as man, HE too was considerred weird, and crazy, mad!!! Because people, couldn't understand HIS preachings or they way HE acted.
A person doesn't have to be "HIGHLY INTELLIGENT" to be weird to others!!! As soon as some one acts, say or does something out of "THE NORM", that person automatically is labled as" WEIRD or CRAZY".
So the problem isn't really with the person in question, the problem is with those who aren't able to understand them.
The name for this people is "NARROW MINDED". Where if it not their way or the "normal " way of doing it, for them is "WEIRD"!!!
Society in general doesn't really welcome new things that easily. It is a lot more trouble to undertand and implement, new ideas, actions, or behavior, rather than to keep on with what we already know or are use to.
Some times it pays to be "WEIRD", does this names ring the bell??? Leornado Da Vinci, Alexander Graham Bell, Mozzart
Einstein, just to name a few of the "WEIRDEST" people that ever existed!!!
"WEIRD" they were "NOT", simply missunderstood. And now every body had benefited from the so called "WEIRD & CRAZY" people, enjoying there so called "weird inventions, changing lifes for the good.
If we all decided to be "WEIRD" which we all have the capability to be; we will be living in the most ........
"HIGHLY INTELLIGENT" world. Avoiding all negative issues, and enjoying a care free way of life. Just like the "HIGHLY INTELLIGENCE", that created this same world!!! GOD!!!
GOD BLESS YOU, HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Quirk: A peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy
Each one is enticed and drawn by his own desire, and in turn by our environment and what we expose ourselves to in life.
The highly intelligent are imperfect human-beings like you and I. However, because of there intellectual capacity they are able to view life and there surroundings from a different perspective. Perhaps even from a point of view we ourselves have failed to perceive. Therefore those supposed "quirks" are actually our lack of understanding. It's wierd because were not viewing it from there shoes, maybe they view your behavior as quirkiness. You never know.
It's all in the eye of the beholder, and how one is able to simulate there life experiences and environment.

Because there are a lot of highly intelligent people who do not have good people skills.

Because they are Highly Intelligent and the others aren't. They build up their own unique character.. and that is a type of intelligence, isn't it? :-)

They don't concern themselves with what other people think of them. They are happy to be themselves. Usually what you see is what you get and they are the same in public as they are in private. They are just true to themselves.

Because that is 'normality'... it is the self-assessed 'normal' people who are the sub-normal ones and therefore below average, and usually offer little to others.

Their brains work differently, so there's different things going on in side them. Just accept it and as long as it doesnt physicially hurt you, roll with it.
They don't mean any harm.
