You know, I think that is an essential step in the process... realizing that you are "isolated" in terms of being a separate individual, someone who his is OWN thoughts/views/opinions, not necessarily just following those of ones family or peers.
In the early years of our life, usually we are led to just conforming with the crowd, and thus, sometimes we lose our sense of identity. Initially we just conform to our parents, then later, to a group (ie. barkada). We feel we "belong" and don't feel lonely. At some point, we realize that we don't really share exactly the same views, we are unique, we have our own desires, etc. - we are "alone" - and that may make us feel lonely. Its not necessarily negative to have ambitions or interests, and I don't think they necessarily isolate us in a negative way, unless of course taken to the extreme.
I think that step of feeling "alone", is a natural one. I think one must become comfortable with being alone, with not having to rely on others for ones happiness, before one goes on to the next level-- which is, feeling united with everything and everyone, realizing that "we are all one".
