Why do some people struggle to take care of their daily lives but excel in a particular field? Because human abilities are not evenly distributed but are highly specialized. Some allocate a large amount of cognitive resources to socializing, daily life, and interpersonal relationships, while others devote almost all their energy to research, technology, art, or thinking. As a result, their life skills may seem weak, but their professional skills far surpass those of ordinary people. Essentially, it's not a lack of ability, but an extremely uneven distribution of abilities. Many geniuses' problems are never due to a lack of ability, but rather because their abilities are too concentrated.
