Bryson Chapter 4

"Newton was a decidedly odd figure-brilliant beyonde measure, but solitary, joyless, prickly to the point of paranoia, famously distracted (upon swinging his feet out of bed in the morning he would reportedly sometimes sit for hours, immobilized by the sudden rush of thoughts to his head, and capable of the most riveting strangeness."

Was he anti-social with that type of personallity?

He sounds like he would be awkward to hang out with, and very dominating in a conversation... or very anti-conversating in a conversation. With all his smartness and brilliance, he was famous for being weird. I would hate to be intelligent, but not have enough knowledge to fit in. or make myself stand out with my personallity in a good way. He was good at math and figured out so many things. And i guess in a way that's really good. He had lots of things going on in his head, and he was always thinking. That's cool.... i guess. But anti-social. Socially uncool. Loser. and Smart. What a contrast.
