Isolation
A Bigger Issue Than You Think
What is loneliness & social isolation?
Both loneliness and social isolation are completely two different terms, but
they correlate with each other. Loneliness is the distressing feeling of being
alone, regardless of the amount of social contact. Meanwhile, social
isolation is the lack of social contacts or interaction. Social isolation can lead
to loneliness to some people, but to others, they can feel lonely without
being socially isolated.
