1. The group always stood aloof from everyone else
2. I felt aloof from my friend, as she moved away.

This word is best used anywhere. If your at your house and your talking to your parents about how the milk is far away and you are to lazy to get up and get it. At school you feel distance from your friends as they sit across the room. As you can see, this word can be used at home, work, school, at the mall, etc.

My Word is a lot like Cold (emotionally) but its different in that its more of a broader subject than aloof. Cold is connected to aloof because when your being apart from someone because your mad at them, you are giving them the cold shoulder, like ignoring them. 


My word is pretty much the exact oppisite of Close because being close is more caring and not so depressing as aloof which is more apart from eachother.

I would give Aloof 3 out of 5 stars because the word "aloof" is uncommon. Nobody on a daily basis says aloof. It is a word that is probably showen in business letters or on a more appropriate/ more educated level.

This shows how the houses are apart (physically)
