Sophie, I used to think your way. "Oh, they're smart - they must have no social skills".
And then I went on a camp for uni, and everyone there had an ATAR of at least 95+. Because it was for a degree program that pretty much had a cut-off around 95 or higher.
Now, because of the umm... interesting things that happened on that camp - such as dislocated kneecaps, underage drinking and god-only-knows-what in the cabins - they never held that camp again.
Some people were... very social, shall we say. Though of course you had the stereotype - I remember walking into the mess hall and you had about 50 students gulping alcohol and dancing to extremely loud music, and then on the side of the room where there was a bit of light - you had people playing Connect Four, or studying for their upcoming Calculus test.
I would know, because I studied with them![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
(and then got pulled in to dance, but that's a different story)
