I am still working as an educational consultant, an acting coach, an actor for commercials, involved in numerous community and charity organisations and yet so many people who do not know me, treat me as a lesser being, making me wait while younger people get priority, explain things (often wrongly) when I haven't asked or talk to me slowly! I have two degrees teaching and counselling diplomas, have worked all my life, written books and manuals but I am sick of being treated by shop assistants, waiters, customer service people (especially on telephone) as if I am senile.
The majority of my friends 65+ also express the same frustrations.
Is it because of the trend for cult of celebrity, plastic surgery and youth sense of entitlement? |
