unfairtreatment

Hello Everyone!

I hope all is well. As for me, not at all. I have a story that explains why my confidence has shattered. Without further ado, here it goes:

On Thursday, August 14, 2025 something happened that cut me deeper than I expected. At work, I was overlooked and dismissed in a way that made my self-worth and self-esteem plummet.

The principal recognized and promoted others—some with family connections, some who had only been there a short time—while I was left out, despite my 5 years of hard work and dedication. It felt like favoritism and nepotism were the deciding factors, not effort or value.

I sat there, stunned, feeling like my work reputation and everything I’ve worked for had been erased in an instant. The anger, sadness, and disappointment have been overwhelming. It’s so bad that I had an instant headache and I don’t get instant headaches that easily. Family and loved ones gave me advice—some said to just move on, others said it wasn’t meant for me, and others reminded me that sometimes disappointments are blessings in disguise. But I’ll be honest: I don’t believe that. Rejections don’t always feel like blessings—they feel like pain, like being told you don’t matter, like your effort wasn’t enough. And right now, it feels like everything I worked toward was dismissed in one moment.

I’m writing this because I know I can’t be the only one who’s felt this way—like your worth was decided by someone else’s favoritism instead of your actual work. It hurts. And while I don’t have all the answers right now, I know I’m not alone in feeling this.

If you’ve ever had your hard work overlooked because of politics, favoritism, or connections, please know your value isn’t gone—it’s just hidden under the weight of an unfair system.

I’m still hurting. #Anxiety #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #ShatteredConfidence #Nepotism #Favoritism #Rejection #feelinginvisible #Selfworth #Grief #unfairtreatment #mystory

I was made to work construction every summer starting at the age if 13. I have always had a job and more than one ever since that age. I currently have four jobs and work seven days a week. But, my parents look at this as something I'm supposed to do. My parents, especially my mom, always have an excuse for her not to work. Know just trying to understand why or if I'm over reacting to this. #overworked #confused #unfairtreatment #why
