arata's isolation was self imposed, at least when it comes to karuta and for a limited time only. he only played with his grandfather mainly, and that's kind of why his time playing as a team with chihaya and taichi was a big deal. when the master died arata shut himself away from the game. it was only when chihaya and taichi went there that he started playing again, and also started going to his society to practice.
shinobu was isolated for far longer than arata, and it was not self imposed, to a point that the only the cards are the only friends she considers.
when one looks at it that way, they are really different, but shinobu considers him to be somebody like her.

Yamashiro 7-dan's the same, though. She also reads the poems like, well, poems, not bunch of syllables. That's why Kana aspires to be like her.
