Proverbs 18

Proverbs 18:1
He who separates himself seeks his own desire,
He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
I wish I knew what was meant here by "separates."  Is this some kind of major separation, where one refuses to have anything to do with others?  Or is it less severe, meaning one chooses to disengage and avoid the issue rather than come to open disagreement?

I wish I knew because, depending on the answer, this might apply to me.  There are many areas where I have major disagreements with others, particularly other believers.  Unless it's an issue or theology, I normally choose to simply withdraw or remain silent, rather than risk causing a larger division.  Am I wrong to do this?
