[quote=spdrun]By the accounts I read, he didn’t even try to socialize, but was rather actively anti-social. I wonder if the rejection was all in his head, and if he didn’t ever even try to get a date.[/quote]
The rejection was not all in his head. Some of it was. But not all of it.
The actively anti-social part came later in his life. According to his autobiography (I don’t think it’s really a manifesto), anyway.
