Impostor syndrome, Causes, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment.

[@MrArcadia2009]

The weird thing is, is that when I first heard about this syndrome, something inside me said "You felt this way before." But my imposter syndrome is.. not success. It's an unusual situation. It's more of notoriety. I do something well, and have amassed many followers, yet it's not because of my success. It's been extremely difficult in how to actually measure this success, because it's not about me, or the followers. It's a very fine line, and something I truly have, and continue to struggle with. It's been a very unusual situation I'm in.

It was always hard for me to accept compliments because I always felt like people only compliment me to make me feel better or because it felt like my success was only luck. I studied hard during the last weeks for a special course in my field of work - but not my exact field (I will need it in the future). Exams were today. I succeeded and was almost proposed to be a future instructor. I didn't even know that this could be an option. I really felt joy and pride about my result (which happens very seldom). Then, I told my boyfriend that I did quite good and was almost recommended to be an instructor. I also said that it's a bit strange because it's not my exact field of work so far. He, who never struggles to feel good about himself ("I feel so fit, it is so easy to get up that hill, I'm so good at what I'm doing" etc.), said: "well, that's only, because it's so difficult to find people who want to be instructors on these courses". :( :( This little sensation of pride of myself just went "puff"... 😢😞

Your success is a testament to your hard work and dedication; don't let anyone diminish your achievements.

[@beautifultrauma]

Well done you on doing so well and studying hard to achieve it 😊🙏 that's amazing that thought you had instructor quality.. says a lot of how you expressed yourself in interest in course content , participation and quite obviously, in a personality for people you might not realise you even have. Gi look in the mirror right now and every morning you wake up and say the words.. " I am amazing.. I am enough.. I will believe in myself more" ❤. I am proud of you and I hope YOU are proud of you. Learning and achieving success is so very difficult when you have such a negative self believe. I know too well. Go get um tiger ❤🙏😊

[@Samoa959]

​@@beautifultrauma Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 A friend of mine once said "it's hard to listen to you speaking to yourself, as you're talking so badly about yourself." I will try to repeat your mantra. I want to be able to say this to myself without feeling like this was a lie. Just to be enough for myself would be great :) like a little peace in myself. I hope you're doing great! Someone who can give such kind words and nice advice to other people, must be an empathetic person and can be very proud of himself :) thank you 🙏

“Between 9 and 82%” 😅

[@Thevaderdrip]

[@kaihlmeades]

[@ajaykrishnan3415]

[@soby345]

Exactly. Crap science detected

[@arctic_desert]

I am definitely a soloist and, as an immigrant, I feel inadequate in the most basic things. Permanently in the wrong place and like I'm just waiting for everything to implode. I wish I knew ways to combat this beyond just identifying it

[@noop-chair]

bro Ur fine dw , you can say it is a syndrome but it's Not an illness , just don't say it's the reason of any of your action . I was that dude who says that he has a lot of mental problems , everyone seemed to be nice with me but when I got better they never treated me like normal, i lost my gf and my family respect because they think I am weak

[@ashrafalam6075]

[@nobreakingthepickle3452]

Between 9% and 82%? What the fuck

[@SyvilMedia]

Wait… I’m all of the types . What does that mean? Seriously I exhibit all of them in all areas of life . If there’s was one about the ability to protect one’s family , I’d be there too

[@Me-br9er]

Add to protect everyone especially juniors at the workplace.

[@NotSoMuchEffortAnimations]

The people that i hate the most, are the people who try to make you feel as an "impostor" i had a teacher who would constantly make fun of your mistakes and outright say: "you don't belong here!"

[@MedicalCentric]

Impostor syndrome can be deeply distressing, often fueled by negative experiences like being criticized or belittled by others, such as a teacher who undermines your confidence. It can make you feel like you don't belong or aren't worthy of your achievements. Overcoming it involves recognizing your worth, seeking supportive environments, and challenging those negative internal and external voices. Remember, your value isn't defined by others' perceptions.

[@ak-j2927]

We have to find a label for everything in society; just be who you are & if that is not enough than it is what it is

[@MedicalCentric]

@ak-j2927 Absolutely, it's important to embrace who we are without feeling the pressure to fit into predefined labels. Society often tries to categorize people, but being true to yourself is what really matters. If someone can't accept that, it's their issue, not yours. Just focus on being authentic and let things unfold naturally. Life is too short to conform to expectations that don't serve your happiness.

[@22hctiwsodnetnin]

I have a question... Where does the person who depends on state and government services fall? Such as guilty feelings.

[@MedicalCentric]

@samfilzen4685 It's natural to have mixed feelings, including guilt, when relying on state or government services. However, these services are designed to support individuals who need them, and there's no shame in accessing help when it's necessary. Everyone's situation is different, and seeking assistance when needed doesn't reflect negatively on your character. It's important to focus on your well-being and recognize that these resources exist for a reason-you're deserving of the support!

Me in nursing. Fake it till you make it.

[@Carrancka]

Between 9 and 82%? Bro what statistics sre those lmao

[@ionut2v]

impossible to argue against type of stats :)

[@intellectualbadstudentnoir3885]

So many gray areas but I guess

[@MedicalCentric]

@intellectualbadstudentnoir3885 Impostor syndrome can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating uncertainty. It's important to remember that everyone experiences doubt at times, even the most successful people. Focus on your achievements and trust that you belong where you are. You've got this, even if the path seems unclear!

So this is ....depression?

[@MedicalCentric]

Imposter syndrome is not the same as depression, though they can be related. Imposter syndrome involves feelings of self-doubt and the belief that one's success is undeserved, often accompanied by fear of being exposed as a "fraud." While it can contribute to stress and anxiety, it isn't a clinical diagnosis like depression, which is a mood disorder with more pervasive symptoms.
