Shut out

When someone is unintentionally isolated from modern culture due to strict parenting, lack of internet access, or no exposure to social media. This makes them struggle with social norms, slang, memes, and pop culture references, leading to social awkwardness. They often find it difficult to relate to their peers, missing out on inside jokes, trending topics, and shared experiences that shape social interactions. As a result, they may come across as out of touch, overly formal, or just "different," making it hard for them to fit in.
