social exile

Shunned by all

Social exile is exclusion from a community or group, whether imposed by others or self-imposed.

Unlike formal exile from a country, social exile operates through shunning, ostracism, or withdrawal: After the scandal, he lived in social exile from the art world.

The phrase emphasizes the isolation that comes from losing one's place in a social network.
