Are they often misunderstood and seen as an anomaly to society and appear anti-social and aloof?

Intelligent people are the enemy.
Never trust a creative person.
You never know what an independent, self-sufficient, free person is going to do next.

Yes.
No.
Most often I suppose.
The hard part of being creative and intelligent is always having to lower oneself to the intelligence around one.
That can be very frustrating. Imagine being the land of the blind and you can see everything and nobody else can, after a while you might be willing to gouge your own eyes out instead of struggling to convey what you SEE to everyone else.
Or if that is not possible, then a very real distancing yourself from the rest of the blind would take place.
Many creative/intelligent people purposefully (albeit unconsciously) disengage from the rest of society, pursue their own muse as it were and try not to step on the toes of those who happen to be around them.
This is seen by outsiders as being "antisocial" which lends itself to further problems and frustrations.

I think people who
are highly creative and intelligent have a hard time fitting into the
"normal" population. Complicating this is that they often have complex
personalities, and they are perceived by average people as being
socially awkward, which they may well be. But the important thing to
remember is these highly creative and intelligent people are all
individuals, and even within this group you will have great variations,
some who act just like "normal" people and some who get along well with
the masses.
