No part of society has, to my knowledge, shunned me. Please explain.

You've never heard of ghosting a (former) romantic partner? Or going No Contact with a family member?

That is in no way the same as an entire community shunning you and cutting you off from all of your family and friends. That is not society shunning you. That's a person doing it.
