You can be isolated and not feel lonely. You can be surrounded by people and feel lonely. Isolation is something you do, loneliness is something you feel.

isolation is when you physically pull yourself away from the things you like and the people you know and love and not let yourself be seen or heard from while loneliness is the feeling that can be caused by isolation. Sometimes you can feel lonely even when being with people because perhaps you don't feel like you fit in or they don't think alike.

Loneliness can occur even when a person is around family, friends and they may even have a partner.
Loneliness happens when the quality of those relationships is lacking and not at the level that you'd like it to be.
Isolation is being physical, mentally or socially set away from other people or things.

Isolation is literally putting yourself away from everyone. You “lock†yourself in your room. You don’t socialize with people, make eye contact with people, or even want to see people. Loneliness is feeling like you’re all alone in a room full of 100 people.

The difference is mainly your choice.
Isolation is being alone by your choice, like living alone, not liking to hangout...
Loneliness is sometimes out of your hands and not by your choice, like losing loved ones, not being in a relationship or not having many friends.

Isolation is having no one around, loneliness is a feeling. You can still feel lonely even if you are surrounded by people.

Isolation is when you isolate yourself from other people and do not interact with others. Loneliness is when you would like to be around others but can not usually due to social interaction issues.

Isolation is pushing yourself away from others and choosing to be alone rather than being with others, loneliness is being by yourself maybe feeling lonely when others are around, but being lonely or feeling alone isn't exactly isolation because in isolation you usually choose to put yourself there or you are forced there.
