  • Impostor syndrome, or “impostor phenomenon,” is a term that was first used in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes to describe why many high-achieving people felt like impostors in their respective fields. Do you often feel like a fraud or an imposter? Learning about impostor syndrome can help put a name to feelings of phoniness and give people struggling with it reassurance that they are not the only ones experiencing these feelings. So, here are a few signs you might be experiencing imposter syndrome.

      This is so me. No good things reach to me because I know they're lying to me. Nothing helps when I make tiniest of mistakes. I take the guilt so much. I also feel everyone knows something about me that is embarrassing and they drop hints by their sarcasm. I feel scared of getting exposed and I don't know what I did wrong!

    Impostor syndrome looks like this:
    - you are standing in a place where there are no tasks pretending to do something
    - you are eager to kill someone
    - you are red
    - you like hiding in a vent
    - you are a stalker
    - you like disturbing others and making their tasks harder.

      YES 👏🏼 I feel this so much. I’ve always been known as the smart kid by my peers and friends but the people in my family were always smarter than me and also I have like, little to no common sense at times. I’m scared of the day when my friends come to me for advice but I genuinely don’t know what to say and I’d either have to come up with something on the spot or just tell them “I don’t know. I can’t help you”
      I’ve always been someone where I feel like if I’m not giving them practical advice to actually better there situations I am not o help and I’m nothing but a burden. Like, unless my friends communicate that they just want me to listen, I will try and give advice. Like honestly I feel imposter syndrome in almost all core aspects of my life.
      So sorry for rambling I’m having a bit of a eureka moment now that I actually have a name for what I’ve been feeling for like 3 years :w:’’

    I do that last one A LOT. Im art classes I always look at others' drawings and feel like they are much better than me and that I have no talent in drawing. Another thing is.. At the past, I had barely one friend and now I have finally a group of friends. But whenever a friend of mine tells me about their friends that aren't in our group of friends I always think "how many friends do they have" "Do they have more than me?" "Am I just a loner again?" "How many friends do I have? 5.. But I rarely hang out with them after school. They hang out all the time" "They have much more than me" and blah blah. When my friend tells me I'm good at drawing I never believe them cause I compare myself to other much more talented people than me. And it sucks..

      I n the past, I was in a group of 3 friends. One left, and moved away, so it was only 2 people left. We were good friends, but we couldn't do much with two people. He finally went to another group, and I was left alome. This went on for months until I finally went to a bunch of groups to make friends. It wasn't fulfilling though, and I felt like I had to be the funniest person in the groups, and be in all of them at the same time. Finally, I couldn't take it and say alone for one month, then I decided to be good friends with only one group to put my energy into. I still feel lonely, even though they are great friends. I always feel like I'm not being good enough in the group and that I need to be nicer. I'm a social introvert an d hsp, so it's very hard for me to stay social, but I try. My point is it's ok to not be the one with the most friends, and it's ok if you aren't always feeling up to it and need to be the best of the best, because that's what friends are for; the people you can let your guard down to, the people who are fine with you being yourself. I hope this helped you, or at least someone, and have a nice day.

Everyone seems to follow these trends or have a large number of experiences and there's just the simple old me.

    Brace yourselves if your going to read this...
    As much as I’d like to think of this as just a Among Us reference and based video (and I love it), what terrifies me is that after I watched this, I realize how I really am and what I might have. Oh, and I know the things aren’t in order, but the numbers are the signs.
    1) In a way I relate, I don’t think I deserve to live a happy and fortunate life. Sometimes I wish I could trade lives with someone who has never had certain luxury’s I have ( maybe have disabilities ) and gone through so much pain, physical, social or mental; whatever it is. They could finally be free from pain they thought will last forever, be able to have all their senses and not be afraid to do things they couldn’t have before. Make friends and live a normal ( well not exactly normal in these times ) but soon have a hopefully fun and happy school life.
    2) I’m becoming a perfectionist by the second of the new year and putting so much more work into assignments then I’m supposed to ( more then just my hardest effort ), procrastinating when I can’t get things done and have terrible anxiety, going to sleep late, which is very abnormal for me.
    3) I’ve even been scared the moment someone finds out I’m not as smart or don’t know as much as I seem, and theirs nothing but jokes behind my glasses ( yeah, I wear glasses). Lots of times I feel like I’m just a fraud in all my Extended classes sometimes, no matter how many times I raise my hand or answer questions in deliberate manners.
    4) Usually I’m okay with getting a few questions wrong or making a minor mistake, and understand deeply that I can’t be good at everything, but now I’m replaying my stupid accidents over and over that no one would make. I feel like I’m just a fraud in all my Extended classes sometimes, no matter how many times I raise my hand or answer questions. Always having a truck load of negativity on me and self-doubt.
    5) This goes with four too, but yes I do feel as I have to be the best and not because someone told me too. I try to do it so I can be up their with the geniuses and overly talented people, maybe just my siblings. I think I’m over doing it.
    6) Then I’m comparing myself everyday to a strait A-Honor Student (my older sister) who even does everything around the house and my younger brother whose been solving Rubik’s cubes and coding since Seven years old ( still in elementary.) I love my family so much but I just think I’m a grumpy, mediocre middle child ( not to any other middle child out their or anyone else bc y’all amazing ❤️).
    It’s my first year of Middle School, of Sixth Grade. So why did I just realize I’ve been feeling this way? I don’t think it’s what I actually think, but it kind of hurts.
    Thank you so much Psych2Go, I’ve been watching you for 2 years now, you help me understand what is happening to me and why I feel certain ways. And thank you fellow viewer for reading this rant about me.

      hey, you should try speaking to someone about this. it sounds like you're really struggling and this is negatively impacting your life and mental wellbeing. i promise you do deserve good things. you don't have to 'earn' it.
      as a disabled person myself (i'm autistic and probably disabled by a few other things too), i read your first point and have some thoughts. disabled people aren't to be pitied. our lives aren't all miserable. majority of us aren't in pain 24/7. we can still do things - yeah, maybe not everything an abled/neurotypical person can and with a few modifications - but we can still have friends, jobs, relationships, be happy, have fun, and do well in school. i don't deny that we have struggles and hardships that come from inaccessible societies, but we can still lead relatively 'normal' lives.
      forgive me if i misunderstood and i sincerely hope this does not sound rude, i am not saying that you yourself are mean or rude. just offering my thoughts from the perspective of someone who is disabled, as you mention people with disabilities in your first point.
      maybe i'm misreading it.
      i seriously hope you find happiness soon, and trust me, you 100% deserve it.

At contests I start to shiver and mumble, I would watch the other contestants answer and feel like i'm nothing.

    I’m a perfectionist AND a procrastinator which usually ends up in a mental breakdown the night before something is due because it’s not perfect, and I don’t have anymore time to work on it.
    I am afraid of being exposed as fake. Every thinks I’m a try hard who is super smart, but honestly, I just rely on my memory and luck.
    I do fear failure, one time I had a panic attack in class because I forgot my homework at my house. I had to go home sick because no one knew what was wrong with me.
    I need to bet the best, again, the perfectionist thing where it all needs to be perfect.

    That last one hit me hard. As a Twitter artist who also sometimes draw VTuber fanart, I see many others through scrolling and see that not only have they liked and retweeted it, they also say great things about their art (art style, composition). I felt inferior because of such.

    I feel like that sometimes, I have done some big thing and helped and improved the lives of people. And I think to myself I have done nothing and feel like a failure. I am happy for my friends who will be direct by commanding me to heed my achievements!

    When I watched this video, I just screamed to myself: finally, I know something is wrong with me. I thoroughly relate to every single point in this video.
