alone enough to hear your own thoughts plotting against you
means Set apart from others — physically separated or socially cut off, standing alone with little or no contact.
from From the Italian 'isolato,' meaning 'made into an island,' which traces back to the Latin 'insula' — island. English borrowed the idea through French 'isolé' before settling on 'isolated,' so at its root the word literally pictures you marooned: a speck of land with the sea all around.
