Isolation (physical, social or emotional) is often used to facilitate power and control over someone for an abusive purpose. This applies in many contexts such as workplace bullying,[1][2] elder abuse,[3][4] domestic abuse,[5][6] child abuse,[7][8] and cults.[9][10]
Isolation reduces the opportunity of the abused to be rescued or escape from the abuse. It also helps disorient the abused and makes the abused more dependent on the abuser. The degree of power and control over the abused is contingent upon the degree of their physical or emotional isolation.[11][12]

: “Isn’t this exciting? No more of the burden of “hanging out” or “going on dates” like some silly unproductive savage! That sentimentality is for stupid weaklings! Now the truly strong can be left to focus on what truly matters! Helping out their ol’ uncle pork with raising shareholder value! What’s the matter, lazy? Can’t handle a decent challenge?”Who fucking ASKED for this?
Joke’s on you, I’m an introvert!What level of failed marketing is it when your adds looks like memes making fun of your products? For a second I legitimately thought this was an anti-ai-corporation meme.
