While it's widely accepted that socialising makes us happier, this might not be strictly true if you’re highly intelligent.If you're really smart, you understand this finding. In my experience, really smart people and the less brainy sometimes don't enjoy each other's company.
Evolutionary psychologists from Singapore Management University and the London School of Economics and Political Science found exactly this when they studied more than 15,000 young adults.
They concluded that, while people generally feel happier when they spend time with others, very smart people are an exception to this rule.
Also, a bit of introversion often comes with a high IQ. When a lot is going on in ones head it is easier to entertain oneself, reducing dependency on others.
