The world frowns greatly for people to isolate. This is at least partly because people are social animals by nature and without the many the collective will suffer.
There comes a point in an individual's evolution, IMHO, where isolation is necessary. It hurts, bad. The brain, body, heart and mind all rebel against our survival instinct to belong to the group. Rejection and not being loved, approved and accepted hurt all the same. We seem to be hard wired this way.
In isolation, I believe greatest of self and character can be achieved though. For me, it has been a necessary dark night of the soul. I have had to face my helplessness and dependence on others. My pain was very deep but through acceptance I feel I have transformed my need for others into deep self love and understanding to a level where I can be alone and happy when necessary.
So doing I have also become a great person to be around with a cheerful charisma. Well of course not everybody thinks so but as I understand myself in a profound way I can also now understand others.
Isolation is healthy so long as we do it appropriately, but I think a joy and power through unity of people is far greater. This interdependent family joy is not always available or easy to come by though.
