Impostor syndrome: You're not alone | Stanford Medicine

[@matyasvascak6463]

When I saw the "You've worked hard to be where you are" I cried. I'm currently studying at the hardest university in my field in my country and lately I have been failing. And that really hit me hard because I have always been/felt as the worst one in my class be it middle school or high school or be it my old hockey team. Yet I am where I am today.

[@stephaniemcfarlane4518]

sending you big love.

[@evelyngicharu6135]

This is testimony ❤.

[@PavanDadlani.MD.]

All day, everyday, every moment I'm on call, every time I get paged for a critically ill patient... that is why I don't stop over-studying, hopefully one day I'll be able to shake the feeling away.

[@Shreya-xw1iu]

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I loved it.

[@KaleSchlegel]

Well, you're open to learning that's a good thing. Over confidence can be a killer. Humility is hard to keep these days. Chronic overthinker here

[@decave]

You sound like a fantastic doctor, and your patients are lucky to have you in their corner.

[@CoachAdeja]

Thank you for sharing! And you’ve got this

[@katezzz-ry4hw]

This is me! I just quit medicine.

[@mr.peanutbutter6969]

Just got a promotion, i couldnt find the right word to describe what i am feeling. This is exactly how i am feeling right now.

[@lydiagibbs9106]

Never knew what I was experiencing was called imposter syndrome. Putting out one face to the world when you know or feel like you dont belong. And waking up every morning dreading to go to work because you knew it was fake, it was not you. After 26 yrs of "suffering" with this feeling, I said NO MORE. I left my job and I refuse to be someone I am not. It took me a long time, sadly, but better late than never

[@iamgrey835]

I'm proud of you!!

[@jessicaolagunle]

This was emotional to watch. This is how I’ve felt for several years.

[@breannapiscitelli3941]

Honestly, didn’t think I was gonna cry over watching a video like this today but holy crap. That’s all I have to say. I don’t even know why I’m crying right now.

Is it weird that I’m a guy and I cried to this 🥲

[@marlyrosinha]

2:16 Very kind and sensitive. I love it!

[@mcpeon]

The approach is interesting. I think it all comes down to self-esteem, a lack of self-confidence, even with a career. Excellent soundtrack, congratulations Misha

[@AlbertKimMusic]

Hard pill to swallow but sometimes, imposter syndrome could also mean that you have good judgement and you firmly realize that you can’t reach certain expectations with your ability and it’s just not possible to do so no matter what you do. Sometimes it’s better to call it quits in a marathon than to finish it and go into cardiac arrest. Knowing your limitations is very important.

[@lamarmc]

Changing careers at 45 has me feeling like this daily.

[@ogaday4831]

I love that 2 of them actually kinda are that color at the end, but even they seems happy about whats going on.

[@playitbyear5312]

This is a beautiful thing. I would love to believe that someone would just hit the sprinklers, but experience has taught me that they definitely won’t. I am a highly skilled and accomplished audiologist, well respected in my field with countless accolades, papers and innovations on my resume. I run the most successful and effective clinic within my group and by any meaningful metric, in my region of the country. I receive dozens of invitations a year to speak at significant summits and conventions as well as consultation engagements with major clinical and research groups, and yet, I spend my life frantically studying and training, not to be better or to provide higher quality outcomes for patients and partners, but because I am terrified that someone is going to figure out that I am a complete fraud. This video gave me a moment of peace, I know that it won’t last, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that moment, it was a jewel, small and rare and immeasurably valuable.

[@Adoree.keke___]

It will last, it might seem like it won’t, but pray to God for peace and things will all work out in his timing. You’ll figure out some things about yourself that may be surprising. 🙏🏾♥️

[@afriquemedia24]

Tell everybody how you feel, telle them you're a fraud, they won't believe you and think you're kidding, but at least you told them. And now that you told them you're a fraud and you have been working so hard and delivering so much excellencies in your result so they never notice you're a fraud, you're not a fraud anymore, cause frauds are hidden, and then you won't be terrified anymore of what is already known by everyone.

[@roolymarvinondoabaghe2774]

What a powerful short video to describe as accurate as possible a phenomenon we're all struggling with

[@theprettybond159]

This video spoke to me more than anything I've watched in a long long time.

[@Wheeintage]

Can not believe this made me cry

[@bassmanwho]

I’m somehow successful in the eyes of the world but this imposter syndrome keeps nagging me for the past 30years of adult life. People who are naturally confident could never understand what we go through just to stay afloat.

[@CherryNang-x5t]

Great Video! "Talk about it someone" "Listen kindly by someone."

[@angelao3260]

Thanks to create this video! Hispanic, latin, immigrant and corporate employee 😢😅😮

Excellent. I live with this everyday now. One complain to a licensing board can trigger a cascading effect.

[@meenakshi6344]

This is such a beautiful video. Without any words it has expressed the concept so well. Thanks for the effort.

I got accepted into a symphony at 16 years old I was the youngest member. I just got accepted into a music school and got registered for a mastercello class after one audition. I watched the audition because i couldn't believe i actually got accepted into a music school. I thought the audition was horrible it was scratchy and my B was flat alot and thought i shouldn't have even been accepted. Impostor syndrome is reala dn really affects your confidence and belief in your self

1:41 is the problem. These videos attempt to give you hope that someone will step up when you need them to. You're on your own.

Yeah, my buddy has imposter syndrome. He is trying to prevent doomsday and sometimes he feels inadequate.

[@manueldi2990]

For about a half year after starting my new job i felt like i had a bad case of the impostor syndrome. Then i had my first evaluation and it turned out, im perfectly healthy I just really sucked at my job. 😅

[@MariaCarabin]

I want to change careers and the imposter syndrome is looming... can I find another career, be good at something etc. Really lovely video. Cute but also deep!

[@HeyOlive239]

I don't get it... aren't we all "impostors" when at work or university?

[@miguelveintimilla1364]

[@blackdateline1996]

I don’t understand how this relates to imposter syndrome

[@ubermalice9589]

I clicked on this video because I wanted to know what "imposter syndrome" is. Now I know it's animated formless creatures painting themselves green to fit in. Only to discover that not everyone is green. So basically I know less than I did before watching this video. Shame I can get that 2 minutes back.

Isnt this normal? Fake it till you make it? How else would you put yourself into a new environment? Am i the imposter or maybe everyone else is? Idk but i vote for red.

It’s because you are an imposter. Not willingly. You’re following the world . When all you have to do is follow God. Mankind was meant for most of this mess we created. So find something you like and you won’t feel like this. It’s a real simple program
