40 分钟So about a week ago, I was doing an interview, and I was asked about my imposter syndrome.
And I've discussed my imposter syndrome a lot publicly because it's something that I've struggled with since I was a teenager.
And it was interesting because the last time I was asked about my imposter syndrome, I had an epiphany while answering that imposter syndrome is not really a relevant struggle for me in my life anymore.
It's definitely still a challenge.
It's something that is not fully resolved, but it's not as big of a deal as it used to be for me.
And this was sort of a pleasant surprise because I didn't really do anything in particular to alleviate my imposter syndrome.
I didn't take specific steps to improve it.
It just sort of improved naturally.
And so I sat down a few hours ago today and tried to figure out what happened.
Why is it not as big of a deal anymore?
And I think I figured out how I did it.
And so that's sort of what I want to discuss today, how I sort of fixed my imposter syndrome.
Now.
Spoiler alert.
One of the ways that I think I improved my imposter syndrome was educating myself on what imposter syndrome is and what having imposter syndrome causes your brain to tell itself.
So let's get a little technical here and discuss what imposter syndrome is.
I got all of this info from betterup.com, comma, psychologytoday.com, comma, and verywellmind.com.
thank God for the Internet.
So imposter syndrome is the condition of feeling anxious and not experiencing success internally, despite being high performing in external, objective ways.
This condition often results in people feeling like a fraud or a phony and doubting their abilities.
