Someone on Quora asked:
Being a recluse or moron has almost been portrayed synonymously on TV/movies (Sherlock, The Social Network, Tony Stark, House) with being smart. Does Pretending to Be Socially Awkward Make a Person Cool?
This was my response:
No. It makes you socially awkward.

So true, Leonard. I don’t know why anyone would think this is “cool” but taking action to improve social skills is a much better plan.
