To be fair: misanthropic, arrogant assholes who are also incredibly brilliant get pretty good treatment in real life, at least in my field. (Academics seem to value interesting company over pleasant company in most cases.)

Unfortunately, most people who *think of themselves* as misunderstood geniuses are usually only marginally intelligent at best, and when you're an arrogant asshole who isn't terribly interesting (but thinks he's the smartest person in the room) then, yeah, everybody hates you. And anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who can categorize himself as the "Sherlock" in any relationship is just an asshat who would rather pretend that he *likes* not having any friends than admit that nobody wants to play with him.

Success, sure, even social success - I know quite a few asshat geniuses myself. and they can be entertaining company, and even appear to have friends. But I don't know if anybody actually *likes* these people, or just finds them entertaining and perhaps useful to be around.

Totally. As Watson said, mediocrity recognises nothing higher than itself...
