Step-by-step explanation:
In social psychology, alienation refers to a sense of self-estrangement, an absence of social support, or meaningful social connectedness. The sense of alienation generally consists of three dimensions: social isolation, powerlessness, and normlessness.
Individuals can feel alienated for a variety of reasons, including a sense of not belonging, a lack of connection with others, a lack of purpose, a feeling of not being understood, a lack of control over one’s life, a feeling of being ignored or overlooked, a lack of recognition, a feeling of being different or not fitting in, or a feeling of being powerless or helpless. Additionally, people may feel alienated due to economic or social exclusion, cultural differences, a lack of belonging to a particular group or community, or a lack of access to resources. People may also feel alienated if they are in a minority group and experience discrimination or mistreatment. Other factors, such as physical or mental illness, poverty, or a sense of not having the same opportunities as others, can also contribute to feelings of alienation.
