well... I 'get' that some aliens did a study once, isolated someone completely (even telepathically) from all other humans. The hope was that they could cure a certain disease he had by isolating him and then working on him in isolation... the same way we might take a bird with a broken wing out of the wild for a while to heal it. The intention being, to eventually restore him to his life. But he completely shut down and just died from loneliness. They took the hint and didn't try it again...
Whatever else happens we seem to be social animals, we just cannot (or will not?) survive outside the 'hive'.
