I don't think its right to downplay another persons suffering. We are social creatures and many people were put into situations that both actually isolated them while revealing the shallowness of their suposed support networks all at once. That's more or less what this person is explaining / venting about and it. I don't know if you've ever been isolated and / or lonely, but once you are you realize it is not a state we are built to withstand.
