Pariah
A pariah is someone or a group that is widely rejected, excluded, or shunned by society or a community. This social exclusion typically occurs because of their actions, beliefs, or circumstances that violate accepted norms or expectations. Being labeled a pariah often results in limited opportunities for social interaction, support, or acceptance, impacting their social standing and well-being. The term underscores a sense of alienation and the profound impact of societal rejection.
