You're great at it before, but now, you feel like what you're doing is always wrong and sometimes you don't know what to do?
Can you share you did you overcome this problem?

If you're not feeling imposter syndrome, you're not growing! Just remember that everyone is figuring it outβand people who think they've got it all figured out are probably headed for a big surprise.

Yes! Though I have a strong feeling the term is going around with everybody giving it their own interpertation :D
I experience this every day and I like to think it's 100% a "me problem." There are a few things that help me deal with it.
1. Reframing achievements and striving to view my work objectively.
2. Reminding myself of small wins and the power of showing up every day.
3. Seeking mentorship from industry experts to ground myself.
4. Imagining that even those I admire might feel this way too. Many of my friends and work colleagues think I have it all figured out. I don't. Maybe others feel the same way.
Finally, while hyperanalyzing every data point and possible outcome isnβt always productive, it gives me a sense of control when I feel uncertain.
Yeah I totally feel you, imposter syndrome is real! I think it's a sign that we're pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. Just gotta remember that everyone is on their own journey and we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. Focus on your own growth and celebrate your wins, no matter how small they seem. We got this! πͺ
Totally! Imposter syndrome hits hardest when taking on new challenges or venturing into unfamiliar territory. Surrounding yourself with supportive people who remind you of your capabilities makes a huge difference. It's comforting knowing so many others can relate!
Totally normal to feel that way sometimes! I find it helps to remember that growth and comfort rarely coexist. Keep pushing yourself outside your comfort zone and celebrate the small wins along the way. And surround yourself with people who believe in you and your potential. You've got this! πͺ
Yes, definitely. It seems to strike me most when I'm working on anything ambitious or novel. I have found that talking to friends and mentors helps me understand my strengths more clearly than I do. Knowing that so many other people share same sentiment is helpful.
