Why modern chess masters lack minimal social skills?

You can’t be the best of the best when you are wasting your time “playing”, “socializing”, and “going to school” with other children in those first couple developmentally critical decades of life. You wanna be able to schmooze among the noble elite, be likeable, charismatic, have friends, and attract people? Then settle for weak IM.

Probably because why would you socialize when you have chess.

I sometime think that the main purpose of the forum is for friendless, talentless losers to try and dump on highly successful and accomplished chess players.
