If you aren't multi-dimensional, and just smart, then you end up not putting yourself in places that threaten your one-dimensional identity. So that means not doing things that really challenge you. This results in a loss of hobbies, exposures, and eventually leads to social isolation. What happens is that you end up not taking opportunities to socialize. For example, let's say you chose to not join the soccer team, become an athlete, join a club. As a smart kid, you choose to not do these social activities and that leads to social isolation and lack of social confidence.
