How has all this played out?
Nowadays, at work, I don't feel the resentment.
I realised and accepted a fundamental truth:
I belong to the "tribe" that is looked down upon by all other tribes
(1) I will not take this personally, as they do not know me(2) I will not look for sympathy or attempt to change the other tribes' opinion of my tribe
(3) I will not complain or protest
(4) I will not internalise the other tribes superiority complex into an inferiority complex
Once, I realised the above and came to the terms with it, the anger and resentment all but went away.
