It’s hard to say without having met you—could be both. (Or a combination of both.)
Can you role-play being social with someone who seems dumb to you? To the degree that the person would actually compliment you for being a pleasant acquaintance? If no, your social skills can still be improved a lot.
When you get that skill, the next step is to hand out at places with lots of people, apply the skills, and once in a while you will meet someone actually smart. (There are not many of them, though.)
