    Interesting reframing of imposter syndrome for me. I have a lotmof it, and I have had a hard time wrapping my head around why when I am nowhere near where I need to be financially and with my career goals.

    But then I remember how much I've achieved spiritually with taking care of my mental health and getting my gender affirming surgeries taken care of these past 5 years. A lot of people never reach the point I'm currently in, and I already catch myself moving the goalposts yet again, moving on to my financial/career goals as a way to "prove" to myself that I'm not succeeding.

    Man, we humans are so complelx but so simple at the same time. These patterns are so straightforward but difficult to figure out exactly what to do for each person. It's almost like we need to have people whose entire career is focusing on these issues, people we can sit down in a private space with legal protections so we can work through them!

    From what I have read, self-esteem is built during childhood. When you are loved by your parents, you feel worthy. During adolescence, it comes from reaching milestones, which in turn boosts your confidence. If you lack any of these experiences, it can be quite challenging (like me, as I approach graduation in AI and feel worthless). source: Giulio Cesare Giacobbe.

    I felt this when I finished University, but it was also due to all the critique new colleagues were giving me, saying my degree was worthless, half the society looking down on new graduates, literally the state tv in Denmark had these memes or satires making fun of newly graduates from University, and for some reason I led all that sjit get to me.

    Today I am completely different, I am proud of my achievements and I know that A LOT of people will try put successful people down because they are the ones who feel insecure or threatened by your accomplishments.

    Nah not everyone gets Imposter Syndrom and Imposter Syndrom dont means that you think everyone else is better then you, you think that you don't deserves your Success 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

    This is great but I think you can be a loser and still feel like an impostor. Impostor syndrome has more to do with lies, deception and having to play a character wherever you are. This happens when you end up in a different place than you wanted to, misaligned with your values, forced by third parties. Narcissists have this because their whole personality is built on fantasy.

    Nowadays, when I suffer from imposter syndrome, I just tell myself, exactly because I just "got lucky" by getting here, is exactly why I need to do a really good job, if I do that, then it doesn't matter if I don't "belong" or if I don't "deserve".

  22. @melonhead60 on

    This is wrong. Success doesn't create imposter syndrome, having an over extended expectation for what successful people are is the source of that. And imposter syndrome isn't a thing, it's an excuse of the successful to deny the need to recognize their opportunities in life. Any instance of imposter syndrome is just a successful person recognizing that they're lucky for being in their position, and not liking that. It's a dead giveaway for egotistical people. Anyone without a huge ego wouldn't call it imposter syndrome, they'd call it a reason for humility.

    Recognize your flaws and celebrate your value, puffing all this hot air doesn't help anybody :/

    I always feel like a completely different person when I hear myself talk, come up with ideas, solve disputes between people, and when I go sit down and reflect, I always think "…How did I know all of that? All those words, meanings, timing and use of it all, perfect articulation, where? Who the fuck was that?"

    I just spent 32 hours over the weekend on and off thinking how much of a fraud my company must think I am. I've been there 2yrs mind you. My boss told me a year ago that she admires my patience because she knows my secretary has to be held by the hand to do stuff. Everyone that they offer to supervise on other days freak out cause they can't handle it. But here I am actually enjoying it but still think that any minute they're going to find me out 😅

  34. @denusklausen3685 on

    Because succeeding, you always know, is mostly due to luck so it doesn't feel earned but being faced with a challenge you have already faced before and knowing what it was like to fail and how to get through it, well that is confidence, helping someone else struggling through the same thing, that is leadership or just compassion

  42. @jasminefonssus2243 on

    I am still struggling to find confidence in who I am instead of what I did. the thing is 95% of my self-definition comes from what I did, and therefore they are hollow and prone to collapse. But I know that it will be a lifelong topic, so I am not rushing.

    And to believe in yourself you need to see your success. How do you believe in yourself/have confidence? Wishing/thinking about it doesn't have this tangible edge or doesn't feel real, unlike seeing success and failures.
