      This is dangerous rhetoric, though. Sometimes you fail because you are just not talented or smart enough, and it sucks if people tell you that you can do everything if you just work harder. I tutored other students during high school, and boy, there are people who have no understanding of math. They just do not understand it. Not in the "it is kinda harder than my other subjects, a bit" way, but they had to work three times harder for their D than I had to for an A. And those people were doing really well at languages/social sciences. But math was not for them, and I am certain they would fail a course at university if they tried. Imposter syndrome is bad, but please do not tell people that everyone can bq really good at everything just through hard work. It is a lie.

    I’ve recently been aware about the imposter syndrome, and it felt so good knowing that I’m not alone. Everything you’ve described about imposter syndrome reflected so much about the mindset that I have today. I’m currently the valedictorian of my class this semester and even with that achievement, I still can’t seem to swallow my own success. I feel like I don’t deserve the position, and that all of my classmates think so to. That some other classmate is way smarter than I am and that my grades are a scam, despite the fact that they keep reminding me how “smart” I am. Every single day I get so anxious of getting the highest score in the room. And when I do not get the highest score, I instantly think I’m a failure. That by not earning the highest score, everyone can now see my true, unintelligent self.

  • @rekal7775

    And I'm not hardworking enough to be an engineer. I am a "natural genius" type of impostor, I could put the description into my CV... I could read fluently at 4, and I am from a family which only had 1 college graduate before my generation. School was pretty easy to me, but I didn't learn how to study, because I didn't need it. One of the biggest pains in my life was the realisation in college that I'm not one of the "good students" anymore. I'm aware of that I'm smarter than the average, but I'm one of the laziest people ever. I sometimes wish I could just give my intelligence to someone else who would have a better use of it, like to a child who could break out from poverty with it. I can't do more than a 3-4 hour of quality studying a day, even if I don't have anything else to do, and I'm a huge procrastinator. I feel like every one of my thoughts should revolve around getting my degree and I should study my butt off, but I waste most of my day by doing practically nothing. For this moment, I have 4 lab reports to write, a scientific article to read (in English, which I'm not native in) and lots of homework to do in foreign language. All due next week, and I've been knowing about them for more than a week. I didn't have lectures yesterday, it's Saturday night, and I've barely done anything yet. I might do better than most of the engineering students (my grades are not that awful and I still have the chance to graduate on time) but I feel like I'm not putting enough effort into it, and I feel like I would be so much better if I could.

    This resonates pretty deeply with me. I almost failed out of my first year at uni because of health issues, withdrew, life happened, and it took me four years to get back in school. So now I'm nearly 25 taking courses with kids fresh out of high school, but I'm also in some second year courses, and that's where I feel like I don't belong, like I'm letting down my lab partners because I'm not smart enough or whatever. But you know what? I'm killing it in the classes directly related to my major, and now that I'm older, I work so much harder than I did at 18. You're not alone.

    Eve, I feel you!! I feel so intimidated and "dumb" when everyone else seems to know the answer and I don't. One thing that has really helped me has been learning about fixed vs. growth mindset: basically the idea that no one starts off knowing, we've all had to learn it somewhere down the line, and so the ones who know it have either already put in the work to learn it, or it's really similar to something else they've practiced a lot. Basically, it's just an outcome of hard work. Since I recently graduated and went into teaching, I see this more and more. Hard work is everything!!! You got this, girl!!!

    I got into a Russel group/red brick university without many qualifications and really struggled when I got there. My first term was so hard. When I shared my admissions story with people they would say stuff like “oh shit how are you here then” which fully solidified my fears. No one currently on my course in the same shoes as me. I my first term I was so alone, depressed and suffering badly from panic attacks and imposters syndrome. I am now doing a lot better. It does get easier and what helped me most was going home and reflecting on my genuine achievements away from the high achievers and their expectations. I am genuinely a lot more comfortable in this environment.

    i'm so glad this video came out when it needed to. I study engineering and i feel the exact same way. i've always felt like im not good or smart enough to be in my course. Especially since i've just gotten my results for the previous semester and they werent very good, the self doubt doubled. Everyone seems to know what they're doing and im constantly having to spend the double amount of time just for me to understand what everyone already understood. This video made me realise that im not alone in feeling that way, and that everyone has their own pace in learning. The idea of a 'fraud' is also something very real to me. I always feel that someone will eventually catch me and find out im not as smart as everybody else, and this feeling makes me feel so tired all the time.

    I'm so glad you said this because I'm currently in Uni going through the exact same thing. Everyone else on my course seems to know what they're doing and I don't. I never even thought of the possibility that someone else could be thinking this as well lmao. You really put things in to perspective for me 😊

    I just started nursing school this past semester and I seriously relate to this so much. One morning I had a total meltdown before my skills lab because I was convinced that no one else was struggling and that I was so pathetic and that I needed to be handling my stress better and I went to school feeling like I was dumb and not capable and like there was something wrong with me because no one else seemed to be struggling with the workload. Then when we were in lab one of my friends started crying because she got overwhelmed and I was like "dude its okay, I'm struggling to keep up with everything too, it's okay to feel overwhelmed" and then like 4 other people said they were also struggling. there's so much value in being open and vulnerable! Its a breath of fresh air in a world that revolves around the grind and that tells us we have to have it all together. Thanks for opening up, bud!!!

I think seeing both is so important for yourself and for everyone else too. Way to go Eve! You're wonderful and clearly very insightful, intelligent and driven. This really motivated me so thank you.

    Thank you so much for this video! I was accepted into the University of Chicago yesterday, and I had a huge breakdown about whether I would be "smart enough" to make it at such a prestigious school. Reminding myself that someone saw something in me (even if it wasn't what I was expecting) will ground me back to reality. I think when we reassure ourselves about what we've had to do to get to whatever stage we are in our lives right now is. important. Remember we are all work in progresses and must always keep learning something new about ourselves and others! Thanks!

    Your classroom struggles are a vital resource. All through your career you will have to both learn new things and question your understanding. This is what you're learning to do right now. I've seen the 'bright' ones that sail through the academic side struggle like hell to come up with a good set of questions in a case. They're simply not used to picking at the holes in their knowledge. So, I know it's hard, but the struggle is like the best Christmas and Birthday present rolled into one for your career. Great video.

    As someone who is about to complete their doctorate, I can tell you that it's quite common (more than you think) to feel that you're not smart enough to be in that environment. What I found hardest, however, was the feeling that I was behind everyone else in terms of progress and academic status. I've recently found this not to be the case for me. For me, I found that having a strong support network, as well as being able to explain my subject to friends and people in the field helped the anxiety voice quiet down. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's getting there.
    Keep your spirits up, I know you can do this and you're going to make an amazing lawyer ❤

    I honestly felt this to the core. Just this week I was in my land law class and felt like I was the only one who was struggling. All of my friends get these top marks effortlessly, where I have to grind it out in the library to get close to them, it's sometimes discouraging. It's reassuring to know that we all feel this way, and it's not just me being too hard on myself and thinking I'm doing the wrong degree. Couldn't have posted this at a better time!
