I know that this statement isn't true. Here is what happened when I went for a walk outside about 30 mins ago in this windy, cloudy rainy day.

I needed to get some fresh air so i went for a walk on my street. I was walking and trying to do some mindfulness to get rid of the anxiety i was in. The cold breeze was calming me down until this moron dark Indian neighbor walked in and told asked me what's wrong with me. I told him that I am just going for my walk and getting good air. Then he asked me what do you do out of the blue! I said, I am just applying for jobs and it's tough out there. That's all he needed to hear to tell me that I am "useless" and "I am of no use to any employer"! Yeah right!

I then asked him what made you say this? He said, "you have NO experience and no one will hire you". He started puking all those negative and toxic comments at me which I have been hearing from my so called Indian family. So I looked him in the eye and asked him, why do you think I am useless. Then he went on to tell me that of the color of my skin. Yeah! he said NZ is a racist country and that's why us black people won't get jobs in here. I was shocked to hear that statement. I said, I don't think so. He said there are many examples here where a lot of Indians come to this country looking for a job and don't find one because of their English is not good. He then went on to say that your English is okay but as soon as they see you they won't hire you because of the color of your skin and a blonde with same degree to yours will get the job but you won't. Then he went on and on about telling me that his daughter couldn't find a job because of her color and she worked for 6 months for free to get the job she's in.

Then I told him that I worked for my supervisor as a research assistant and what are you on about? And my supervisor is a white guy and he never thought of me like that. He said "You are NOTHING to the job market and your supervisor's job isn't a job that will get you future employment. You are just wasting your time. Indian parents pay for their qualifications thinking their kids will get a job but it's not easy to get the job with our color". Then i had to correct him again and I said, "I PAID for my qualification and I will get a job and i am applying for jobs everywhere in NZ and started applying for jobs in Australia too".

Then that bastard went on to say that no one will hire you in Australia or overseas because you are useless to the them without experience. He kept on throwing negative comments at me till thankfully heavy rain started.

This shit has affected my mood so much. The more I am trying to be positive the more i am hearing such nasty comments from people like this and at some point start believing in their shit. The more i am trying to NOT hate the bloody INDIANS the more horrible experiences I am getting from such people. I am working on my CBT and it has been a success to some point until I meet such Toxic people.

Now I am left with the only question and that question is, Am I really useless and will I NOT get a job?
 
@FridayJones : he was full of crap! I don't think what he was talking about was true. I have probably met 2-3 people who were racist in my 14 yrs of life in NZ. Most of the people here are nice especially the Kiwis. And this guy comes here telling me crap about the color of my skin. I mean he was black, and I am actually brown North Indian with slightly fair complexion (similar to middle easterners). Now this is making me laugh,, hahah. It was only 10 mins of chatting with him and that to for the first time in these 8 yrs since we've moved to this neighborhood and In these 10 mins I could tell what type of depressing and negative person he was. Wow, what a victory. I could actually identify a negative and toxic person. You know in these years of my life i have NEVER been able to identify such people's behaviors until few months ago this year. I think the more I am learning about myself, the more I am learning about other people's behaviors and the kind of personalities they are.

I always used to put myself down and be negative about myself. However, today I felt that guy was full of nasty gunk and he was basically throwing his nasty crap on me. I have NEVER berated people in my life even when i was depressed instead I used to encourage people but this guy was just :eek: :wtf:
 
You are right, Jess, he was spewing nasty gunk. Shower it off! You are an amazing person who will be an asset to the company that hires you. Sometimes it takes a while to get a job and you are persistent. You will do it.

Don't listen to this random guy. He has no idea about you or your situation.
 
I'm glad you were able to see and recognize his negativity and toxicity. Sounds to me like he was projecting onto you the problems he has in his own life. It's tough out there, but you will get a job with enough persistence and perseverance you can achieve anything you set out to do!!!
 
Freaking bully is what he is. By the way, I applaud you for going for a walk on a rainy day!! That's good self care. Stay away from him right?
 
@FridayJones @RussH @littlelostchild @Ghostybear73 and @KwanYingirl : Thanks to all of you lovely people for your replies.

Yes, I did manage to recognize the kind of toxic and negative person he is. I mean 10 mins of standing next him made me feel low and it felt that this guy has major issues within himself and his poor family has to tolerate him? He sounded exactly like my father and mum's narcissistic brother n her sister, who never have anything nice to say!

I came to this country when i was 12. I managed to learn to speak English and was in normal literature classes with the Kiwi kids within 4yrs, I was always in standard Maths and Science classes. I topped my English classes two years in a row and that too in a multicultural country. I had 2 scholarships in this Country and that too living in lot of different races with of course white people, what was that guy on about? My T is a white lady, my Psychiatrist is a white guy, My supervisor who supervised me for my masters degree is a white guy and he is the best supervisor any student can get. He is the most genuine Professor I have met in my life who actually extended the date for my thesis because I was in horrible depression caused by circumstances that where happening at home last year with mum's asshole brother living at our house + my other supervisor displaying similar traits to mum's brother. I actually look up to this Professor and I actually want to be like him in the future. And this random guy from the neighborhood came to me throwing this crap about race to me? huh!

I do admit that there are people like this here but NOT all people are racist. To tell you the truth, Indians are the most racist people you'll meet in your life. They can't even tolerate each other and full of jealousy, And he was talking about racism to me! I'm just going to have to keep an eye on my street when i go for the next time so that i don't see him again. That was just enough for life time from him and his crap.

You guys have been the most wonderful people to me and I really appreciate everyone's support :hug:s :).
 
J_trustno1, I feel like to ask him back,"Is this how you let out your anger? Catch people out of blue, ask them what do you do and then become so generous to offer advices when it is not asked in first place!" Then see how reacts to that, if reaction is still negative then I will suggest RUN! :p
 
@Tanishq : heheh bhaiya :P. I was trying to escape talking to him but he just wouldn't shut up. Thankfully the rain started,, that was the best escape nature has provided me with today :P :D. I love the rain :D :D :hug:s
 
Honestly I do this in real life. When people start getting too negative I start walking. I don't care after that when I notice that they are trying to bring me down. I never stand with that kind of behavior, bringing someone down for no reason.
 
What a psycho d....k! Total projection of his bad feelings on to you. Please walk away next time someone starts spewing the psychotic sewage at you. Seriously, to unload on a stranger in the street like that is asking for a fist fight and indicates a very, very loose screw.

So sorry you encountered this raging mentally ill man.
