We spoke to tolly_t, TanyaCompas, livlittle and others about Imposter Syndrome and how they tackle it
“I think it was Charlie who introduced me to impostor syndrome as a concept. When I first heard the term I was somewhat defensive, thinking, ‘no, that’s not me, I’m fine’. But the more I looked into what the term meant, and the more that aligned with my anxieties and insecurities , I realised that yes, this is definitely real and something we should be talking about.
“I see it in my counterparts , who undersell themselves or doubt their abilities in a way that men do not. I think men are less afraid to fail. It’s something that we all have to work through but I certainly haven’t gotten there just yet. It’s also really easy to internalise the way people treat you, and see it as a reflection on you and your abilities, which isn’t the case.
Impostor syndrome:"I’ve also created a folder containing compliments that I’ve received on my content so when I’m having a particularly bad day, I can read them back and know that others have enjoyed my work"
