In my early teens my Dad said something to the effect of, "If you're so smart... how come nobody likes you?"

Now, this sounds mean, but my Dad was a psychological genius.

This was exactly what I, personally, needed to hear in order to trigger the thought, "Wait a minute.. these are social SKILLS... I should be able to learn them"

And I could, and I did.

A few years after that I asked myself, "If you're so smart, why aren't you happy?"

I got working on that... and I succeeded again
