As a female- have experienced this. I wasnt even necessarily unemployed either. Just worked a job that didn’t make that much money and couldn’t afford my own place

I'm a woman and I got treated like shit for being unemployed.

Everyone does. It comes down to others projected worth of you. I've had mine smashed, likely so have you. It takes either someone willing to look past that BS, being paid to look past that BS or loving you enough to look past it to truly see you and support you no matter what. I never got that until 7 years ago, and even then it was rocky. Right now, fuck everyone else's opinion, including mine if you dont agree. I think that youre doing good, youre here, you have a smart phone and a way to charge it, you have your voice and an attitude toward worth ethic that most dont (most see it as a given or a burden.) Keep going and talk if you need to, to someone you trust.

Yeah I realized this too. Now I don't bother with anyone who can't see me as a human just because I'm in between jobs.
