Notes	shunning"Ostracism threatens: our need to belong... our need for maintaining high self-esteem, because it carries with it the implicit or explicit accusation that we have done something wrong. our need for control over interactions with others, as well as our 'interpretive control' when the reason for our exclusion is ambiguous." may threaten our need to maintain our belief in a meaningful existence, because it reminds us of our fragile temporary existence and even our own death.
