So what is IMPOSTER SYNDROME?
Imposter syndrome is a type of intellectual self-doubt. It’s an anxious behavior/thought process rooted in the fear of not being good enough. Also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism, is a psychological pattern where you doubt your own abilities, talents, or accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, despite there being plenty of evidence of your competence and achievements. People experiencing impostor syndrome often believe that their success is the result of luck, chance, or the collaborative efforts of others rather than their own skills, leadership, or actions.
It's important to note that impostor syndrome is not an officially recognized mental health disorder, but rather a common and widespread experience. Many people, regardless of their level of success, struggle with impostor syndrome at various points in their lives. It can be particularly prevalent in high-achieving individuals, students, professionals, and those in competitive fields.
