Hi, Pieanne
I'd like to express this concept.
- He is being shunned by his colleagues.
- No one likes to mingle with him.
- Everybody doesn't like him to be part of it/them.
Don't we use the expression "[Someone] be out of it" or "[Someone] be left out (in the cold)", etc?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
There's not much wrong with the sentence you wrote. Trying to use your words, I'd say
His colleagues leave him out in the cold. He spends all day on line, and after work he goes for a drink alone.
Other possible expressions include His colleagues give him the cold shoulder or His colleagues ignore him.
