What is it?
[edit]The article doesn't really define what emotional isolation is. Emotional isolation cannot be defined as a state of isolation where someone is emotionally isolated. It's like saying that yellow is a color that is yellow. Capitan Obvio 10:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't really get what is the difference between emotional isolation and loneliness (if there is one).
yes. and..
[edit]True. Plus it would be nice if the article would also deal with emotional isolation among young people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.86.9.34 (talk) 13:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
It would also be nice if there was an animated gif in the article depicting a force of ninjas defeating emotional isolation after a pitched battle, the state of emotion embodied for the purposes of dramatization in the form of a hairy bigfoot-like creature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by INTOTHEGRIP (talk • contribs) 21:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Contradiction?
[edit]- ...emotionally isolated, but may have a well functioning social network.
I would think a well-functioning social network would provide emotional support, otherwise it wouldn't be "well-functioning". Maybe some re-wording might help here. If a person is emotionally isolated in a well-functioning social support system, there is something else going on that this definition is missing. --DanielCD (talk) 16:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Peer Review
[edit]I think you're going in the right direction however, I do not think it's wise to use the word to describe the word. I suggest using a different definition or rephrasing it so you avoid using the same word in the definition. Other than that, it looks good. Jlope487 (talk) 04:03, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
