Episode 3-216 - The 5 Faces of Imposter Syndrome

Many high achievers share a dirty little secret: Deep down they feel like total frauds–their accomplishments and successes the result of nothing more than luck. This phenomenon, known as imposter syndrome, is the result of a deep belief you’re an inadequate, unworthy person and an incompetent failure despite all evidence to the contrary. 

In short, you’re a hot mess of disillusion. Imposter syndrome has many faces that reveal its existence in various forms. If you’re familiar with the feeling of waiting for people to see you for the fraud you think you are, it can be helpful to identify the face you’re putting on it so you can turn things around by problem solving accordingly.
