The true exceptional so-called "genius" doesn't have to build any protecting wall, he/she's a true free spirit flying above with no awareness of his/her specificity - this pure and total freedom is what naturally brings a huge amount of creativity in that person, who will then be qualified and considered as a "genius" by "normal" people who always need to tag others to feel comfortable...
Those "exceptional" people may appear unpleasant, socially uncapable, totally crazy or even retarded sometimes, but less probably arrogant, which is to me the evidence of a doubtful mind, the displayed behaviour of someone who still has to prove too many things to himself and others...
Mind the fakes !...
