I didn't even know there was such a syndrome until you mentioned it. Can you elaborate a bit more?
What are the symptoms of this syndrome? How much does it affect your daily life? Does it trigger anxiety or worry?
I am such an open book, and I don't have any issues with being honest about my
self-doubt. I will never pose to be someone who doesn't or hasn't suffered from the idea that I may not be good enough, or I may not even know what I am doing.
Imposter Syndrome is something that MOST people have suffered from unless they are psychotic. And if you have never suffered from imposter syndrome, you probably haven't placed yourself in the right rooms, and you are playing yourself small.
Bigger rooms make you question yourself, even if you shouldn't.
Have you ever found yourself in a room with people bigger than you, in the same industry, and those pesky thoughts pop into your head, "I have no idea what I am doing," or "Why am I here, I don't belong."
I have.
No matter how good I am at what I do, the left side of my brain always tries to convince me that
I am an imposter and that I am nothing but a fraud. Luckily, the right side of my brain is trained to quiet those thoughts. My success is bigger than mere thoughts.
It used to affect my daily life to the point where I would believe that I was, in turn, quitting. It doesn't control my life, but it hasn't gone anywhere. The bigger the room, the more likely I will have a few of these thoughts pop up. It's much more common than most people will admit.
