Loneliness can be defined as the lack of meaningful connections within particular social circles. This can be visualized by a surface level relationship with the people around oneself, but not much depth.
Social isolation on the other hand, is the lack of human connections altogether. While this can be voluntary or involuntary, the result is a void which the mind struggles to manage effectively.
In terms of importance, loneliness can be debilitating due to apprehension towards opening up. The question which manifests itself would be “Even if I tell someone, they wouldn’t care” Socially isolated individuals would likely struggle with the question “Is this question even worth asking, I can manage it alone”
