RANT II

soooo, here's another.

something that's really annoying is being treated like you're dumb, not competent, as though you know very little, have very minimal experience in something, when really you probably have far more skills in a certain aspect than others, especially for your age. I totally feel like that at times, especially because, with some groups/ organizations I work with, I tend to be either one of the youngest people, or one of the few females. I feel as though I'm being pushed aside, treated like I'm not worthy, that my sex and age are preventing people from seeing my actual potential. luckily, the people who treat me that way don't matter much in the 'real world,' that I'm noticed by the more 'important' people, but (from a social aspect), it's nice being treated like an equal, y'know? I think some people need to put themselves in other peoples shoes, to look at a situation from all perspectives, to stop thinking about doing things to SOLELY benefit themselves. even though people act tough and try not showing how they actually feel, they may be feeling like crap inside. ugh. it felt nice not being treated like I was inferior for a couple weeks, but the fun of inferiority is starting to swing back up again. maybe it's better to step aside and let others run the organization, instead of focussing my energy towards something that hurts me more than helps me. (I have a feeling that will be the end result of this..)
