The parents didn't teach the kid about how things work, while the kids are too proud to mingle with rich kids who are not as smart as him, and got frustrated with society. If the gifted kids are from well educated family who emphasize social skills, they often display better academic AND social skills when they grow up. This is natural becasue they do have more raw brain power which helps them to be more observant and responsive.
One big thing to watch out is that gifted kids tend to fear failure, and because of that, sometimes don't want to try new things. They have to live up to the image of excellence which creates a lot of pressure. Because of that, I don't celebrate success as much as certain "failure" of my kids.
