I think that's probably the best way to look at it. They were both forced to live in a world they didn't really understand, with all of these people that really didn't make sense to them. And they both just found different ways to deal with it. Enid just kind of made fun of it all, whereas Seymour just collected records because he couldn't invest love and energy into people. He had to put that somewhere, so he put it into records instead.
If I remember correctly the book says what happens to Enid after she leaves town.
