isolated
Meaning
The term "isolated" refers to being separated from others or being in a remote location, often leading to feelings of loneliness or disconnection.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "isolated" with "solitary," as the former can imply a lack of social interaction while the latter often refers to being alone by choice.
