The term can be applied in various contexts, from personal relationships and professional settings to broader societal issues.

In everyday conversation, "förbisedd" might refer to a talented individual whose contributions at work go unnoticed by their superiors, or a quiet friend who feels left out of social plans. It can also describe a problem or a need within a community that is not being addressed by those in power. The feeling of being "förbisedd" often carries a sense of disappointment, frustration, or even sadness due to the lack of recognition or care.
