I am currently feeling quite depressed. I received feedback indicating that my English accent is a factor in someone’s negative perception of me. Despite having grown up in England and residing here for practically all of my life, it seems my background does not have a favourable impact.
This person’s preference appears to be for individuals with foreign accents who do not speak the English language as their primary language.
I never anticipated feeling like an outsider in a country where English has traditionally been the dominant language.
Very sad.
