history: I was across the country on a work trip and had no one to hang out with for a week.  I felt isolated I was on the other side of the country on a work trip by myself.  I felt very isolated and had no one to hang out with for a 2 weeks. You could have gone to a bar and found some friends 
current: That is true, but I am not the best at meeting new people.
