Certain recognizable and sufferable types of abnormality have been summarized by the American sociologist Erving Goffman under the general term of stigma. Carriers of a stigma live a difficult life: they are rejected, spread discomfort, cause anxiety among the healthy, as far as the defect is recognizable to everyone. Others, burdened with secret stigma, must deny, deceive, play to continue to be considered normal; they live in fear of discovery and isolation. Lonely are both. (Tilmann Moser on Erving Goffman’s “Stigma”)
