I think it's the fact that Neptune clearly expressed that he didn't know who she was when they met and proceeded to flirt with her despite not knowing her name. It's like what got Pyrrha interested in Jaune. Neptune didn't recognize Weiss and flirted with her like any other girl. I'll just go ahead and copy and paste from the episode transcript here:

Weiss: So Neptune, where are you from?

Neptune: Haven. (Approaches Weiss.) And I don't believe I've caught your name, snow angel.

Weiss: Um, I'm Weiss.

"I don't believe I've caught your name" Well, Sun did introduce her as "Ice Queen" rather than Weiss.

Jaune, on the other hand, didn't present any clear indication upon meeting her that he didn't know who she was, and he was kind of all up in her face from that point on, pressuring her to join his team and trying to be all cool hot stuff ladies man.

She's open with her team, especially after that speech she gave about being open to one's teammates, but we haven't really seen her be open with anyone outside her team. Also, you don't have to be alone to be lonely. For the love of God, I know from first-hand and second-hand experience. Pyrrha gave a perfect example of this. She said that she's constantly surrounded by people giving her love and adoration, but since they put her on a pedastal for so long, she became separated from them all. They were still physically there and still adoring her, but emotionally, she felt separated from them.

So, just because Weiss isn't all anti-social and physically alone, it doesn't mean she can't be lonely. Not all lonely people are anti-social.

Yes, her trailer was misleading, though it seems to have been in a setting close to her family, considering the Schnee snowflake symbol on the back wall. For all we know, the true extent of her loneliness could stem from her family, not her peers. That, and we've barely seen her on her own, and the one time we got to actually watch a scene where she was on her own, she awkwardly practiced faking a smile in the elevator, and then after the video call, her fake smile faded, and she looked extremely sad. She refuses to talk to her father, and if you'll recall from The Stray, he was part of what made her childhood difficult.

Basically, the writers need to give us more time with Weiss, so we'll finally get more of an understanding rather than mere glimpses of what she's like underneath. However, they have to have that development and exposure happen naturally, like they did with Yang's backstory. Considering the Schnee Dust Company keeps coming up so much, it's only a matter of time.
