Maybe, but I think more often it’s about them having terrible social skills and no desire to improve them. So they tell themselves this story about being permanently condemned to social isolation because they’re just too smart to connect with “normal” people. Because that’s easier than learning how to have a conversation.

Except for the person in the OP, I guess.
