Understanding Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome is characterized by persistent feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, despite external evidence of competence and accomplishments. Individuals experiencing imposter syndrome often believe they have deceived others into thinking they are more competent than they actually are and fear being exposed as a fraud.
This phenomenon can manifest in various ways, such as:
- Minimizing achievements and attributing success to luck or external factors
- Overworking to compensate for perceived inadequacies
- Avoiding new challenges or opportunities for fear of failure
- Constantly seeking validation and approval from others
