On it's own, that does sound like a unique kind of hell.I used the same idea in a game I ran a few years ago. A young woman was given never-ending youth and vitality - she realized that may have been a bad thing when she watched her friends grow old and die. Then she made new friends... who she watched grow old and die. By the time the PCs met her, she was actively looking for a way to break her curse.
Something to consider for Infinities stories, although there's more than one "immortal" in Fenspace - there's no reason why any AI should die from old age - so the loneliness won't be as bad.
If a strong Homeostasis gives you this kind of immortality, I expect there to be quite a lot of Biomods after a few centuries with this in the population... maybe just because a) they don't die and b) people might look for these Biomods for themselves because they don't want to die.
