Isolation is the physical absence of people, loneliness is the emotion associated with missing people or an emotional connection with people. You can be surrounded by people and feel lonely, and be isolated without feeling lonely.

Isolation sounds physical where as loneliness sounds emotional. A person can be isolated and not feel lonely, just as a person can be surrounded by people but still feel lonely.

When you are isolated you do not communicate with other people. Loneliness means no matter how much communication you get, you need communication with the right people, while there are not enough around you.

Isolation is where you want to be alone in solitude with no worries in life. Loneliness is where you are alone but do not want to be.

Isolation is when you're alone and have distanced yourself from people or when they have distanced themselves from you.
Loneliness is similar but not exactly the same thing. You can feel lonely in a group of people too, it doesn't happen only when you're alone.

Isolation is keeping people away from you or locking yourself. Loneliness is a feeling you get when you feel like there's nobody but there is actually.

Isolation is when you are away from everyone but does not mean the feeling of being alone. Loneliness is when you feel like you are alone and that there is no one to talk to, you can feel lonely in a crowded room
