Defensive Arrogance

As the smart kid's social skills start to degrade, they become increasingly lonely. Then their intelligence, ego, and identity step in, and the kid develops defensive arrogance. As the kid gets lonelier, they believe that they are just a "quiet genius" and cannot interact with normal humans. They believe that they're so smart that they can't interact with anyone else because everyone else is "dumb." So, the smart kid feels very reluctant to engage and connect with others. This defensive arrogance also comes with a corresponding low self-esteem.
