[halo universe] how accurate was the description of spartans being antisocial during downtime and if there were exceptions to spartans actually interracting with the general public/other personnel?

In the halo 4 intro, it was mentioned how spartans struggled with basic humanity and social interactions.  I was curious to what extent is this accurate.

The Spartan II's were raised from early childhood in a heavily controlled military environment. It makes perfect sense that other than military decorum that they would not be able to adjust in normal social situations. Especially since they mostly interacted with each other or instructors for most of their lives.

In the Silver timeline (TV show), Spartan II's have implants that control their emotional state, removing the normal human need for social interactions. This causes them to not "waste" time with their off time spent training. We see this very clearly when Kai-125 removes her implant and then starts to interact more directly with the Marines on the base.
