Are you even good enough to have imposter syndrome?
'Winging it' is a skill.
Dude, for real. Half of what people call "efficiency" is just routine and winging stuff you know you don't really need to prepare.
Most of expertise is learning what doesnt matter and why.
Fake it till you make it
Ah, getting gender envy from a meme once again
Genuinely curious, what do you mean by that?
I'm a trans girl (haven't transitioned yet though :c) and the woman in this meme is soooo pretty, makes me wish I was her.
How many trans girls does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one and you don't even need a light bulb. Tell her she is beautiful, and she will light up the room!
You're all pretty 🥰
Awwwwww thank you so much <3
Gotcha, thanks
it's tough. you're beautiful. don't sweat the small stuff and find someone who loves you for you.
This version of the meme doesn’t capture the contempt in her look. I feel less judged
Come on, man. Let me have something
Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!
Here is the original source if anyone wants to do the quiz.
So you're telling me the prompt "ChatGPT, take this image and make it look cute and like it was a watercolor painting, but with a very subtle but gargantuan amount of judgement" really worked?
Now THIS is a proper shitpost
Man, as someone who dealt with that super hard at a job, this is a great way to make someone feel even worse. Bravo!
I don't typically experience imposter syndrome.
However, it is my understanding that the majority of people I know seem to experience imposter syndrome (likely influenced by the fact that my social circle is mostly academics)
Thus I seem to be the odd one out in this respect, paradoxically causing me to feel like an imposter for not experiencing imposter syndrome.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm too dense to feel it, but my brother who is a thousand times more successful felt it
I love the art style! Do you know who the artist is?
I've seen it around before but would like to know as well.
It's the cartoonized version of the profile pic of a mastodon power shit poster. She has some good stuff.
It reminds me of sewing patterns for dresses drawings
Slow clap?
So is it still imposter syndrome if I can recognize that I am in fact decently competent but think any recognition for said competency is at best stupid at worst a fine excuse to commit self sabotage? Because I could do an action of complete selflessness and heroism but if anyone congratulates me I will threaten their lives.
I'm not even good enough to be myself
No.
This meme is talking about me and I don't like it🥲
Err yes, I think, maybe... fuck!
Yes, my imposter syndrome comes from my perception of being too lazy, not my ability to do my job when I'm actually doing it.
6 years of college and 2 years of supervised fieldwork and I still get imposter syndrome.
8 years of college here. Three degrees! Also well over 2 decades of industry experience.
And I have good news. In 20 years you will probably still have impostor syndrome because you will probably still be a decent person who is willing to question themselves and isn't an arrogant jerk. :>
I love the way you have put this.
I love to hear that it was received as intended!
Though I’ll also add one thing that HAS changed without me having to stop being decent to others or critical of myself (in a healthy way): Whether it’s something at work or at some, I have learned to blunt that urge to get somebody’s approval to do something before I do it. It’s a mix of some earned confidence, and of wanting to own my decisions, all in the context of teaching myself to be decisive and act rather than analyze and discuss with others while never doing anything.
And that last bit isn’t my inevitable turn back into the productivity-obsessed conservative asshole I was raised to be. It is self care after a lifetime of raw dogging ADHD. So the first part about being decisive and trusting my judgment is very true, but the second part about just doing anything is probably even moreso in my case. It includes getting things done that I desperately want to do for my personal life and well being. I have built so much shit this summer with my own two hands that my body has gun as much benefit as my mind.
Some doubt I guess is healthy. The idea that it’s a sign I’m not an asshole yet is one I want to lean into. My field is known for its arrogant assholes, unfortunately.
You are so spot on about owning decisions and shedding that doubt. It’s something I’m also working on. Experience helps. Being the expert in the room for the first time is daunting for anyone.
Yes.
Sigh :(
I'mma put an imposter in your imposter
Wait, doesn't pretending to have imposter syndrome without strong reasons look hypocritical?
