Well anon the fact you're posting here about it means you feel insecure about that interaction. You felt alienated among your friends and feel they don't even care about you. Out of your depth, alone, inferior to all those happy folks enjoying nice homes, talking hobbies, living good lives.
You fell for the "I don't need social circles or follow teh rat race like those normies, Im smarter than them" ego boosting technique many modern men and women usually fall for.
As evident by your reaction to that fairly normal thanksgiving interaction, your "smartness" might be limited to few domains but the thing is you've thought of your smartness as a crutch for being a valuable person, a cut above the crowd, or even as an excuse to say I don't need those normalfag stuff like emotions or caring about things, I've a goal of VR program Im working on. Truth is, it doesn't matter that much. We are basic animals with big brains but bigger egos. You've considered your smartness as a self worth source of validation.
You thinking you "contribute nothing the entire time" and feeling bad, when its not a show-and-tell competition to show up with the best things in life. Others have many things to bring up, so you think they contributed, brought value, are successful. You brought nothing like that, so you feel lacking, unvalued, useless, just being there. "Feeling Smart" isn't working here.
You've inardently tied your self-value to these "smart things you can bring up to the table" like cool knowledge or smart facts about specific things. When in reality you just being there is enough for thanksgiving. Any other contribution is just sweet extra.
Chin up. You're smart enough to realise that smartness isn't everything. Or making a big project, or buying a house. We need all around development.
