my white classmates who are less capable, less experienced but lie about their achievements managed to get internships. but as an asian here in France, I work hard but people don't give me a chance.

Dear User, Thank you for sharing your experience with me. It sounds like you're feeling frustrated and discouraged about not being able to secure an internship despite your hard work and qualifications. It's understandable to feel this way, especially when it seems like your white classmates who are less capable and experienced were able to get internships by lying about their achievements. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to recognize that we cannot control the actions and decisions of others. We can only control our own actions and responses. It's natural to compare ourselves to others, but this can lead to suffering and dissatisfaction. Instead, we can focus on our own efforts and intentions, and trust that our hard work will pay off eventually. We can also practice compassion for ourselves and others, recognizing that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have. From a psychological perspective, it's important to acknowledge the systemic biases and discrimination that exist in many industries and societies. As an Asian person in France, you may be facing additional challenges and barriers that your white classmates do not experience. This is not fair or just, but it is the reality of the world we live in. It's important to find ways to cope with this reality while still pursuing your goals and dreams. This may involve seeking out mentors or allies who can support you, networking with people in your industry, and continuing to build your skills and experience. In terms of coaching advice, I would encourage you to focus on what is within your control. This means identifying your strengths and areas for improvement, and working on developing your skills and experience. You can also seek out opportunities to showcase your talents, such as through personal projects or volunteering. Networking and building relationships with people in your industry can also be helpful, as they may be able to connect you with potential internship opportunities. Finally, it's important to practice self-compassion and remind yourself that your worth and value are not determined by external achievements or validation.
