My question is this:

How do you deal with the problem of immersing yourself with people?

I am troubled by this as well.
I supposed so much so that I can come off as "normal" or "typical."

Nevertheless, I carry a notebook around ALL the time and write feverishly/furiously whenever I have some research ideas, mathematical models and solutions coming to mind, and poems.

These are all the things I cannot possibly share with those around me out of fear and/or looks of dismay and confusion.

What do you do to overcome your perception of people?

I guess I've learned to blend and connect. Once I get to know people I'm definitely much more comfortable. Otherwise I just keep fairly quiet and observe.

Also, I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of intellect, has something to contribute. It could be an anecdote about a place I've never been, info about a hobby I've never tried, the plot of a movie I've never seen, or just... attitude or state of being: determination, gratitude, optimism, grace, refinement, kindness, open mindedness, etc.
