the practice of being alone, which the brain reads as a slow-motion physical attack
means the state of being separated or set apart from others, whether by distance, circumstance, or choice.
from From Latin insula, "island" — to isolate is literally to make someone into an island. The word arrived in English through Italian isolato and French isolé, and "isolation" took hold as the noun. So buried inside the word is the loneliest image: a single body cut off by water on every side.
