In general, separating from others in hopes of becoming productive is the worst plan in the entire world. As a teenager I let myself slowly spend more time here and less with my peers until I was a total outcast and mute, with some vague justification of becoming an animator and honing my craft. When you have friends to show off to, to roast and be roasted by, to engage with and to be kept "normal" by, you're happier, healthier, and a better potential partner for mates (women look at your social circle as a form of social proof). It also makes you more productive when there are people around you. Isolating myself held bigger consequences than I could comprehend at the time. Could I but warn my younger self, this would probably be one of the principle few I would try force myself to understand. If you're a young person be warned away from these things (isolation and "neeting"), even if you avoid the obvious snares of alcohol, criminal activity, etc it will ruin you.
