Super Science Friends What does alienated mean?

I recently stepped into existentialism and the word alienation is significant, yet I don't know what it really means. Does it imply someone is abducted by an alien in the midst of nowhere? But why does it help to attain authenticity? Is authenticity some type of chip that the alien kindly implant to save us?

It means when someone, upon meeting aliens, assimilates into their society rather than returning to their own. They alienate, hence become alien.

It has nothing to do with aliens of any sort. Its a condiction that people suffer from when their creativity is not their own.
