Question addressed above.

Exactly what I said up above, and to give some more context, I'm a 15 year old in the US, just finished 9th grade a month or two ago, I'm looking to be a theoretical physicist or an astrophysicist when I grow up, I'm fairly intelligent school wise, consistently getting the top scores in my state and am homeschooled.

So I'm a 15 year old who for the past 10 years has wanted to become a physicist. However I've found that my path to getting there will be very difficult, especially for me. I've been homeschooled for most of my life, so I'm very socially underdeveloped, which I've found will probably be my biggest challenge, as I'm very intelligent school wise, so far getting A in all classes for the past 3 or 4 years, consistently staying in the top 2% in terms of MAP testing. Right now, over the summer, I'm wanting to get ahead in math by reading the book geometry demystified and maybe even learning algebra 2, while also planning on trying to be more social. Do any physicists (specifically astro or theoretical) have any advice for me on becoming one.
