Just in some much more subtle ways than most of the other messed-up people in the story.
Actually, he strikes me as pretty much a book-standard introvert. He tries to cover his social awkwardness with his mental achievements; he panics when he realizes how he's failing in social situations; and he latches onto anyone who shows any capability at handling social situations, no matter how small.
I went through similar situations myself when I was in high school. Admittedly without the albino coloring or the Angel attacks, but then, I grew up in the suburbs.
