Reality Check #2 Bullies Exist!

I just found this at random on Internet. This is not mine.

Lately, I just noticed that people have started belittling me. Making fun of how I speak or say things, mock me and where I came from. All these things, I am okay. I can stand my ground.

For a year, I never had a problem with my work until one program was added, and everyone else six other hydra heads came out. Many got jealous. Then my workload started getting slow. Then something happened. One coworker of mine messaged me to tell me HOW TO DO THINGS, this and that. Umm, no?

I don't think that it was right for that person to tell me about such and such because I am not doing anything wrong, and I am actually doing my job.

Being in America has shaken all my walls, this is a completely different scenario to what I was used to. I don't even know how to respond properly without sounding so pissed off. In  reality, I was very ticked off. If I didn't hold back, I don't know what I would have said.

I hate my professional self. One day, it is going to kill me.

This person was trying to intimidate me earlier. No, I wasn't intimidated, but I got angry. Angry at myself for not being witty in my responses. Angry because my ego hurt.

Coming to America, it made me realize so many things. It may be a good place to live in, but there are far too many horrible and hateful people around, saying many things about you while they are smiling at you. Scary.
