No Such Thing As Imposter Syndrome :: August 2024 :: Matthew Langley artvlog

This is something I'm dealing with on a personal level. I'm self-taught and have only within the last few months decided to try and make a go with my art.

just work hard and stay true to who you are - everything you achieve you will deserve. Best of luck to you.

Very well said. I've never believed in imposter syndrome. In fact, I don't think I even heard the phrase until I was pretty well into adulthood. I like that you pointed out having low self esteem because that's most likely at the root of "imposter syndrome". It also doesn't help that our society seems to put a premium on downplaying and even discouraging creative talent until someone has "made it", i.e., achieved celebrity and/or monetary status within the art world and beyond.

I never heard it until about 5 years ago either - and it has always struck me as strange. Also so true about "having made it"

Wise words, I never believed it either. Thank you for sharing.
