Many who suffer exile are denied the basic human contact that most require to live a normal life and the pain of being ignored or shunned by family and friends can be devastating - the severity of the exile varies from era, community and even purpose (for example a religious body many shun until the offender returns to "proper" thinking, while an exiled criminal may never be allowed to return to their home).
