Do you think that being too intelligent can be a curse too?

Been debating about this thought in my mind lol

The reason they are intelligent is because they were isolated and motivated to think..create...and discover for themselves without being told what to think .
Examples:
Leonardo Da Vinci...denied educational oppertunities due to bastard status
Thomas Edison..deaf...removed from school because they thought he was mentally deficient
Isaac Newton...did his best work alone when he was forced out of University due to plague
The list goes on and on
Edison did not see his isolation as a curse but his greatest blessing...Being hearing impaired allowed him to focus and not waste his time on ceaseless small talk.
