What is the difference between isolation and loneliness?

Isolation to me is removing myself from everyone and everything. Loneliness is what I feel. One is an act that is brought about by the other. I will many times try to isolate myself when I am feeling anxious or I am needing to center myself. When I feel lonely, I have to get away from everything and everyone. I feel lonely in crowds. Not because I feel inadequate, I am a very confident person all in all. It is just that when I am lonely, I feel like I need to get away from everyone so that I can get away from that feeling.

Isolation is where you push yourself away from your friends, family and people who care and love for you. You spend a lot of time in your room and don't really get out much anymore. Your trapped inside, this could include being trapped inside your own mind. Loneliness is where you have no one to talk to about how you feel. Tend to bottle up your feelings and thoughts. No one to trust. All you want is someone to realise that you aren't ok and need a helping friend. You try to get out or surround yourself but nothing seems to work.

Isolation is the withdraw from interaction with others people while loneliness can just mean you feel distant but still interact. Also, with isolation you tend not to talk as much, you make less eye contact, and you do more things alone than in groups. On the other hand, with loneliness you seem sad more often (even though that can go with isolation as well) and tend to mope around as well. I really hope this helps and thourghly answered the question. If it didnt I'm always open to messages and will gladly talk more about it when I have the time.

The difference between isolation and loneliness...Well one can be isolated from other people but not feel lonely, because they can feel comfortable being alone. With loneliness, one can feel lonely even while surrounded by friends and family. It happens when they feel like no one can understand them and they just feel alone. However, people can be both, isolated and lonely. Most people gain comfort in the company of others and they don’t feel lonely with at least one other person. When they get isolated from everyone else, they feel lonely. That is how I would explain the difference between isolation and loneliness.

Isolation means you want to be alone, you go away from everyone and refuse to stay with any other human being. You rather stay alone in your room then with your family in the living room, you don‘t go to party‘s anymore and you don‘t meet any more friends because you want to stay alone. You WANT to be alone, you don‘t want anyone else. It‘s your decision. But loneliness means you feel alone, you would love to have someone with you, friends or family, but they aren‘t there. Isolation: want to be alone Loneliness: want to have someone but you are alone

Loneliness is when you feel alone. You can feel alone even when you are surrounded by people. Isolation is having less number of people in contact. It's about number. So loneliness is about quality and about how and what we desire from our contacts. Isolation is about quantity. We can easily increase contacts to decrease isolation but loneliness needs to be working on relationship with these contacts. They are related as isolation can lead to loneliness and loneliness to isolation. It's important to work on both when we want to decrease them. It's important to be able to meet and speak to people. And it's also important to improve the quality of relationship with people.

Lonely: comes from the feeling of sadness, you may feel this when you’re homesick or miss a loved one, it can vary quite a lot. this feeling may happen even if you do have friends and a lot of family, as everyone feels lonely at some point whether you are young or old. Isolation: locking yourself in your room for days on end, or just not wanting to see anyone at all, not wanting to eat, chat or do anything especially if it concerns going out of your bedroom when you’d rather sit by yourself isolated in that cold dark room.

In my dictionary, they are absolutely the same. The center of reference is different, that's all. I would add to the list, the word aloneness. 1. isolation is when you are focused either on your ego (very self absorbed) Or, when you are focused on some beliefs, that majority doesn't have, doesn't believe them. Both give isolation because the more differences there are between you and others, the more distance. It's natural law at work. Isolation, or degree of isolation, is given by the number of differences between you and other(s). 2. loneliness, is the same as point 1, but you crave the other's presence for some reason other is required, because you decided so. (like sex, relationship, communication etc) And the other is missing. Other can be a person or a thing or whatever. 3. Aloneness is best of all 3. You are preoccupied with Yourself, not your ego. You are aware of your ego, its frustrations (because maybe points 1 and 2) But You are learning from the state, You are Yourself, You are, You see, You invest in some goals that you have, You enjoy your presence, Your life, You create it, You know where You are going, and You know what You build, and why.

Isolation may not necessarily cause loneliness. But loneliness usually causes isolation, due to the feelings of depression and demotivation. Loneliness is a state of mind or feeling of isolation, which can prevent you from spending time with loved ones or friends because you choose to be on your own or you find it hard to be in the presence of others, and instead, you hide away in your room/push them away. You can be in a huge crowd or with close friends and still be lonely. Isolation is when you don't have anyone or anything around you, it's a situation you can't control. It might be 'accidental' or it can be intended, such as if a friend group leaves you out of the loop.

Isolation is literally being alone in a place. For example, being in a large room but no one in the room with you. However, loneliness is when being surrounded by a large or small amount of people, btut feeling you cannot talk to them or seek help to them. For example, a room full of people who are all talking and laughing you sitting in the middle of it yet not feeling the same as they do. The difference is when being isolated you are kiterally alone yet being lonely is even being in a massive group of friends yet feeling different.
