Katniss feels lonely throughout the book The Hunger Games for a variety of reasons at different times. At the beginning of the novel, she lives a fairly desolate existence with her family in District 12, but she feels lonely because her father has passed away and her mother has become despondent.
Later, when she is taken as a Tribute to participate in the Hunger Games, she is even more isolated. For one, she is away from her family and her one close friend, Gale. For another, she is about to be sent to fight to the death, and she doesn’t trust her fellow Tribute, Peeta, who reveals that he is in love with her to the nation, which she believes is a ploy for help in the upcoming games.
In the actual arena, she is incredibly isolated, literally fending for herself in the wilderness. She makes one companion, Rue, but she is quickly killed by another child, leaving Katniss alone once more. At times she feels alone and isolated because she doesn’t know if she has support from the outside world, although Haymitch will occasionally arrange for aid to be sent.
