Is there a difference between say sitting in a crowded area and feeling isolated, and say being stranded in an abandoned piece of pristine wilderness in northern Borneo? Yes I think that there is, what's important is what your situation is and how you feel about that, not the terms we use to talk about them.
Finding the word you most associate with the feeling can help in figuring out what exactly the feeling is.
