Political isolation differs from personal loneliness in kind and cause

Evidence

Oh, those tears of a child who had no one to wipe them… . He will never forget that he was apprenticed so young to loneliness… . A cloistered existence, a withdrawn, secluded existence in which I learned too soon to meditate and to reflect. A solitary life that in the end was profoundly moved by trifles–it has made me hypersensitive within myself, incapable of externalizing my joys or my sorrows, so that I reject everything that I love and I turn my back in spite of myself on everything that attracts me. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 276 (#expands, via linked claim)
