Creative people might appear to be perfect, in light of various features we have credited to them. But highly creative people are complex beings who also possess what most people consider being socially undesirable. To begin with they can become so absorbed with their ideas particularly during stages of creative process that they strike others as hopelessly self centered. They may also lack social skills, becoming tactless, forgetful and inconsiderate to others.

Always seeking new ideas to replace old ones, highly creative people sometimes appear to be faultfinders.

They tend to set their clock according to rhythms of their ideas; they seem difficult and stubborn and yet at the same time flexible and open minded. This does not make them any easier to get along with, but giving highly creative people the freedom they need to develop their ideas gives rich rewards that benefit us all.

Does one take this complex personality for granted? We are all imperfect - the creative and the non creative. So because I need the solitude to gather my thoughts and produce them creatively gives me the license to be impolite?  Does it make me less creative otherwise? We are all in a hurry to label everyone, everything. We want to place them in a compartment. This can only bring a gap between us and the creative ones. Artists will not compromise to come two steps down and the rest will not want to climb two steps up. To avoid disappointments a handshake is possible. No?
