Outsider

 An outsider is someone who feels excluded, different, or not fully part of a group, community, or situation. It’s not always about being rejected —
 sometimes it’s just about not feeling like you belong yet.

Examples:

1- She joined a new team at work. Everyone already knew each other, and at first, she felt like an outsider trying to find her place.

2- At school, he had different interests from the others. He wasn’t unpopular — he just felt like an outsider who didn’t quite fit in.

Hi everyone, and welcome to Daily English. Today’s word is simple, emotional, and very relatable. It’s “outsider.”One more time: “outsider.”

Listen to this: She stood at the edge of the room, watching people laugh and talk easily with each other. She smiled, but inside, she felt like an outsider.

So what does “outsider” mean?  An outsider is someone who feels excluded, different, or not fully part of a group, community, or situation. It’s not always about being rejected —
 sometimes it’s just about not feeling like you belong yet.

Let’s listen to some examples: When he moved to a new country, everything felt unfamiliar — the language, the culture, the jokes. For a while, he felt like an outsider.

She joined a new team at work. Everyone already knew each other, and at first, she felt like an outsider trying to find her place.

At school, he had different interests from the others. He wasn’t unpopular — he just felt like an outsider who didn’t quite fit in.

Sometimes being an outsider hurts. But sometimes it gives you a new perspective. It helps you see things differently. It can even make you stronger and more independent.

Many people who once felt like outsiders eventually create their own space, their own community, their own sense of belonging.

Now it’s your turn: Have you ever felt like an outsider — in a place, a group, or a phase of your life?

Thanks for listening to Daily English. Have a lovely day — a great one. See you tomorrow.
