It's not a question of isolating, it's because people only have a limited amount of time and energy and we're all forced to prioritize. Once you factor in romantic relationships, family and work/business many of us don't have much time left for regular meetings with friends.
Not to diminish your position however, I think the problem you are describing is caused by having a lack of a social safety net, not a reason to cut free from one.
Humans are a social animals, and we are more likely to thrive as a community than as rugged individuals.
