Generally, if you want to understand something, you take a step back from it.
The same concept is applied very practically to art; you take a step back and observe the work in it's entirety, and it allows you to see if the picture needs betterments.

It depends what kind of creative you are.
There is a point for the artist to be involved in society and be social, if he creates illustrations, comics or critique/observations, but it is also good to be able to have the possibility to step back.
True isolation is entirely impossible, unless you go off the grid for good, but you should allow yourself to at least be able to withdraw and let your brain think and sort through your thoughts.
What does Sam Hyde do? He does highly satirical sketches, and that requires him to be aware and fully know about whatever he makes a sketch about.
In writing, you write what you know, because if you know what you are writing about, you can make it make sense to the person who will read what you write. Don't use fancy words you do not know the meaning of or cannot explain. Don't make up concepts or write about stuff you have figured out. You should get the point.
>but these kind of people don't tend to socialize a lot
And that has to do with the usual hostile reactions.
Maybe 1 of 1000 people will not be hostile, hence the risk isn't worth it. And someone who has chosen solitude, has no real or true "urge" to socialize.
>The guy who insults you is probably not someone you want to listen to, but the guy who explains why he doesn't like certain things, is.
Exactly. The insults are just noise you should ignore and filter out, and whoever takes their time to genuinely actually explain to you, means that they actually do care about what they say or the topic at hand.
