Best word for "Outsider"?

Which spanish word is the most correct to describe an outsider?

I`m thinking of a person which is a bit outside of the social circle - a different person, not fully accepted.

I can`t quite figure out which spanish word fits best in this sense: "Forastero", "Extraño" or another?

Thank you.

It can be "advenedizo" - different social, educational, level; background, income... - bassagui, Oct 27, 2009

Extraño is strange

Extranjero is a foriegner/stranger

Mendigo is a begger

Forastero is usually used for something similar to a wanderer or wandering begger
