It's hard to deal with. It festers in my mind and effects my self esteem and self worth. I apply for jobs all day, every daybut can't seem to make it through the interview process. I've been told directly to my face that I'm wasting my time even interviewing. In no way is that okay. But I keep trying. Someone is bound to hire me eventually. But it's just frustrating. And when people don't understand because they've never experienced such stereotypes, it gets even worse.
