What is it?
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..
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?

 * ...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
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)
