I only recently realized that social skills and recognizing social cues were an actual set of skills that could be learned.
That and the fact that learning something isn't supposed to be completely automatic. I think my next step will be figuring out how to apply myself to actually learn something. I grew up with the impression that significant intelligence = everything is incredibly easy.
And yes, you can get through college and law school without putting forth much in the way of effort, withdrawing from life, and being completely disorganized. The complete disorganization and social skills thingy (people? why do I need other people? what good can they possibly be?), however, will completely destroy you in the workplace.
