Deep dives

Understanding Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their achievements and fear being exposed as frauds, despite external evidence of their competence. This phenomenon affects approximately 70% of people and is prevalent across genders, races, occupations, and particularly common among underrepresented groups like immigrants and non-native speakers. It stems from comparing oneself to others, feeling inadequate, and attributing success to external factors, leading to self-doubt and downplaying accomplishments.
