unrespected
Lacking others' esteem
Unrespected means not given respect or regard.
Someone unrespected is overlooked, dismissed, or treated as unimportant: He felt unrespected by his colleagues despite years of service.
The word often carries a sense of unfairness—the person deserves respect but isn't receiving it.
