    Unseen is loneliness in company: feeling that nobody notices or understands what you’re going through.

  • Isolated (also under Lonely)

    Isolated is being apart from people; unseen can happen right next to them.

  • Left out (also under Lonely)

    Left out is not being included; unseen is being there and not being noticed or understood.
