An outsider is someone who is not accepted by a particular group, or feels that they do not belong in it.

To feel isolated means you feel separated from other people.

Unique means being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual or special in some way.

If you feel intimidated then you feel frightened or nervous because you aren’t confident in a situation.
