Hi,

It's near to isolation and a turning away.The state of being an outsider or the feeling of being isolated, as from society.

As you used it, that is when from comes after it, but in this case we have of after the word, and I think it has a meaning other than what you said.

"Alienation" +"of" as I mentioned is somewhat near to "hatred".
