So ,we are in a process of realising what we really are, that's good.The problem is we are blaming each others for something which is our own characteristics.. That's a thing to overcome.....and we will be fine. But not with religion around.....

Impostor syndrome isn’t about comparing yourself to other, it’s more like comparing actual yourself to the Idealistic fantasy version of you that you hold in your head.
@Gabriel_F49242 жыл бұрын
Not necessarily. You can feel that way in a new job or in any place where you don't know what to do. It's not tied only to yourself but what you perceive to be whatever role you are trying to fill in. Like not fitting in your father's shoes but on a more realistic scale because the idealistic fantasy version of you comes from yourself. The ideal characteristics of something outside of yourself, like a job, a role, is both an ideal coming from your own mind but also shaped by the beliefs of others. Which isn't to say that your idealistic version of yourself isn't shaped by others but it is more... of a consensus I would say.

Congratulations on the new position! I would like to give you some actionable advice that is very easy to implement that iwas given in the same situation.Helped me immensely to not only navigate well but actually rise faster than I would have and avoid a lot of embarrassment and problems 1.have a centralized place where you keep notes. 2.Every time throughout the day and especially at the end of each work day write down everything that you are unsure about. 3. Anything that caused you angst or that felt you needed to know further. 4. Set aside some time each week to research those items further. Actually did it three days during the week. 5. Put them in a word document with a hashtag related to the subject. This will help you not have to ask the same questions multiple times and you'll have your own searchable database when other things come up in the future. You will also show growth a lot faster which will impress your peers and superiors I was in a position where somebody got very ill and I got promoted to a role that I was clearly not prepared for. This advice was given to me and it changed the entire experience it went from being a stressful situation that probably would have took a long time for me to reach parity with my peers to within 6 months, I was actually elevated a second time it's a really good method. Good luck on the new job!!!

I'll warn you now that if you're actively listening and asking constant questions, the envious and the incompetent will construe it as ineptitude whether they actually believe that or not. But my advice, based on my own career, is to ignore the haters and bulldoze through with your questions until you feel sufficient mastery of your responsibilities regardless of any snide comments or gestures people make. Once you're on your feet and you transition from a walk to a sprint, your competence and necessity will become apparent to all, even if the envious refuse to admit it and sneer at you forever. If I was a manager, I would take super careful note of those who do that and find any excuse to oust them, but as we all know most managers only become managers by being conniving themselves.

This actually reminds me of Napoleon. In 1796, Napoleon took over the Army of Italy. He was a young, rather inexperienced general, and was expected to hold the line in case the Austrians tried to push into France. What Napoleon did was something no other French general would do: he started asking questions of the French officers who were in Italy before he arrived. He asked them very simple questions, which revealed he has no clue how to do his job being an inexperienced general that he was. But he learned quickly and at the same time earned the respect of older, more experienced but lesser officers. He spoke even to engineers which was shocking because engineers were commoners, not nobles, but they knew how to build and destroy bridges and roads, knew how to get cannons to high hills from which their range could be increased. The young Napoleon asked everybody he could on everything they knew. He learned from common soldiers about the status of equipment and arms, wrote to Paris to make the Directorate send fresh supplies, gunpowder, etc.. Less than a month later, Napoleon launched a surprise attack on the Austrians and whipped their butts. This is how his legend began. By asking questions.

The more severe your worries and preoccupations the less mental CPU time you have to spare for noticing things other people might find blindingly obvious. I was consistently surprised by positive reactions toward me because I had convinced myself that I was a pathetic loser. This consistency didn't clue me in though. I was lost in a turbid stormy ocean of feeling like I was just clinging on to the rollercoaster of life. I still get lost annoyingly frequently, but getting clarity from external sources like this helps me come up for air. And helps me erode the beliefs I had/have in my mind's bullshit explanations.

Impostor syndrome is seen in a negative light. It certainly is hell for newbies but it also exists for experienced individuals. It is most likely also related to our inherent spirit of competition. You can have an idealistic view of yourself which you can never attain but that may be because you lack a role model you can try to reach and surpass. It's the same except that your idealistic version of yourself is imaginary.

What truly hurts is being surrounded by those whom you would think will support you, especially when your dad is sent to prison for nine years, but never once wrote to me asking if I was OK ...

Hence why I get how some men just up, and walk away, because when you're constantly surrounded by incompetence, and the rare occasion you've tried speaking truth to power, but got incinerated for it, eventually you reach a point of utter mental, emotional, and psychological exhaustion, that nothing worthwhile seems worth it anymore ...

Cool thing, I was very sensitive boy, more so than some girls, I moved out of my parents at 19 and went to a different country to study, in a year or so had a full on mental breakdown that lasted maybe a week, after I managed to calm myself down I became much more depressed/uicidal but I also got myself out of that and virtually no one knew about it, and at the end of all of it I became a completely different person. I'm The opposite of myself now, I have much more confidence but it's mostly because I lost the ability to care for anything really and empathy became a chore but I'm somewhat of a good person still. Sensitive people stay fragile if they don't encounter difficulties, but I'd personally recommend such drastic things as I have endured because I feel hollow and I feel almost nothing on a daily basis and it sometimes can be mildly uncomfortable. P.S. No one will read it and I'm speaking to myself, but I'm always, mentally, alone, so that's ok.

If you now feel hollow and don’t care for anything really, you are depressed. You can care and feel empathy and then have friends, that must not make extremely vulnerable. Try to engage in other people and activities, that make you happy. And keep boundaries, you can care without other people hurt you.

I started playing electric guitar as a young boy about 1967 or so. At 17, I was in a band, and we were starting to get good $$$ gigs. Of course I felt like an imposter... but at least, I thought, I am in a band with another guitarist who was widely regarded as the best in Oregon... perhaps even the tri-state area. So the imposter was able to feel some confidence that A) not as much is required of him, and B) this other guy could carry it all by himself if I imploded. In my early 20's this band was long gone. The imposter had to audition to get into another. The best club band in Portland was advertising for a lead guitarist. They had failed to find one in Portland auditions, so had come down to Eugene. This imposter went, and found he was like #16 to be interviewed and auditioned. All the other guys had big hair, leather jackets, and way nicer equipment than I did. The imposter rolled his Twin Reverb in, wearing a T shirt and jeans. After the audition ("we'll call you", yeah sure) I was crestfallen because of how very good they were. It would have been the best band I could ever hope to join. That night they called, and I got the gig. So, as Jordan says, you may BE an imposter along the way... but at some point, if you're determined, you become that guy instead. JMO

In that situation, it's very easy to fall into the trap of "they must be right ... I'm probably am as stupid as they say I am ..." ... I've never found a way out of that trap, so I'm the least to offer any kind of advice. But, if you know you are working for, amongst the many, at least one, or two, whom are slightly above average in competency, when comparable to the rest, then let your quality (and not quantity ...), of output, speak for itself. It may mean walking a very narrow path, with a mountain on one side, and a deep ravine on the other, but if the quality kf your work gets noticed, futher up the chain, by those whom are truly competent, and whom commend you for it ... well ... But, if you're working in a job, where all you feel like is crap 24/7, especially due to shifting competency requirements of you - but not of them - then your mental health comes first, and find somewhere else whom will appreciate _your_ competency ... That comes from bitter experience; and having not made the right choices, at the right time ...

Maybe you're arrogant, maybe you only féél like everyone around you is treating you as an imposter, maybe you are so damn good at it people are scared you'll get promoted before them, maybe they just think you are very good and they try to make you even better? There's all kind of reasons! You know what's the fastest way to deal with it? Just ASK the one that's the least critical. The least scary to ask. It's either 'in your head', time to do something about your demeanour or time to seek another job. Would you rather like to keep feeling the way you do for the rest of your life?
@MoomoIII2 жыл бұрын
If you are capable, competent And do the job you're assigned propperly. The need for you as an individual in that workspace will and should outshine the potential false impression the people you're reffering to have about you. "Actions speak louder then words." The part where you look for a mechanism to cope with the current situation i think has more to do with a desire to be accepted in a social sense. But if for example you are a noob at your job and incapable of growing any further into getting it right should prompt you to self reflect and find what value you DO have. Contrary to popular belief. A competent person with a lower status in the social economic sphere has more value then an incompetent person in a position they shouldn't be in. If you have the potential. Focus on that and they'll see eventually.

There is one huge mental trick I play on myself when I feel stress from work from some problems that I'm not yet competent enough to solve in spades. I just say to myself that I'm there VOLUNTARILY. Because that's true: I chose to work there, I chose this position, I chose this field of work. I could have chosen something else. By bringing this idea into my immediate field of consciousness I start to think of the problem as a challenge and myself as a hero. Needless to say I grow as a professional at an unprecedented rate.

@HolographicParasight2 жыл бұрын
It seems to me, judging by the comments, people are getting it a bit wrong. Jordan in essence is tapping into the phenomenon from the paradigm of play - from the onset of your life, you adapt yourself to the environment by imitating the best available ideal who has the means of navigating the structure of the world. This, I think, is linked thereafter to every situation you find yourself in. You, as a beginner in any situation, unconsciously start to imitate the person most approximating the successful through their virtues, or rather, you try to embody the virtues and practice your behavior so as to best exemplify those characteristics that breed the most success in the given situation. This is not inherently a problem, I gauge, until your meta-realization of what you are exactly doing - attempting to bring yourself closer to that chosen ideal via mere imitation - which then breeds the feeling that you are not a sincere representation of the ideal, but that you've rather copied the person embodying the ideal. Which then assumably makes you ponder your own legitimacy in that matter, since you are made aware of the fact that your wisdom is not yours but second hand. But then, keeping with the play paradigm, that is exactly the right and correct means, acquisition, so long as you also then keep to the realization that you are not the prime authority in given circumstance and never sell yourself as the originator of the ideas and always have an incomplete knowledge corpus. That is what separates the honestly aspiring from the impostor fakes.
@user-ft9pc6wj7t2 жыл бұрын
Everyone in some sense is attempting to approximate some best avaliable ideal, and as such, their knowledge and opinions acquired is never a portrayal of their own thoughts, that is, one's opinions is merely a linear combination of previously derived opinions of others. You are rarely creating, but rather combining. It is those who embody their derived opinions with the most truth and confidence that come across as sincere rather than as an imposter to others.

The first time I came across this term was when I started writing a short fiction story. Though I lacked experience and knowledge of the main themes of the story, I still continued to write until the imposter syndrome started to get louder until I stopped writing. Felt guilty writing it and sometimes even guilty for stopping. It sucks having that voice that tells you you're way in over your head.
@gregap82822 жыл бұрын
I don't believe in exposing yourself to something to get more confident at it, many singers reveal that they are a nervous wreck before concerts. It is a natural reaction to some type of underlying trauma/feeling/emotion/whatever. The key is to be vulnerable, be honest with yourself and the world and find that underlying issue. For many years I thought I had stage fright, until I realized I would talk in front of a lot of people without anxiety, it was then when I realized that my "stage fright" was actually only active in job related public speeches and the imposter syndrome was behind it. Born from low self esteem and insecurities. It told me, you're gonna fail and they're gonna see you're not who you say you are. To deal and eventually kill my imposter syndrome I had to work on my self esteem and my insecurities, accepting my vulnerability and the fact that I will never be perfect. Everything cracks under pressure. Don't put yourself under pressure
