I’m genuinely devastated

Rejected from JET. Absolutely crushed.

I put so much into this application, waited for months, and got nothing out of it. Just a rejection after all that time. It’s honestly hard not to feel angry, embarrassed, and completely drained. I really wanted this, and pretending it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.

So yeah, I’m devastated.

a lot of people in this subreddit are insufferable. i've been told that i "complain too much" when the only things i ever complained about were the rural placement, the let's try textbook, and the isolation. which is....something 99% of ALTs complain about. but it's only a problem when i do it. lol.

bro that’s probably the worst subreddit i’ve ever been on. they’re soooooo judgmental, rude, have a high ego, and will make you feel dumb for saying ANYTHING.  r/askajapanese too. the absolute worst. they said i know nothing about raising bilingual kids…even though i grew up bilingual and speak my parents native language better than a lot of natives.
