I used to have the same problem. This is what I did:
I am a lot smarter than a lot of my friends. Instead of ignoring this fact, I had it in my mind at all times. When a friend of mine would say something stupid, I would remind myself that I'm smarter than he or she. Here's the thing: it doesn't really matter how smart you are, and I was using that as an excuse to distance myself from people. I realized at some point that it was a combination of my intellectual vanity and my serious antisocial problems that were the cause. Once I has dioscovered that, I tried to stop. After a while, I simply had conversations with people without comparing our IQs. It's quite refreshing, and people are more friendly to me now (little did I know that I was acting cocky and condescending the whole time).
I don't know if that's something that might help. I just thought I'd share.
