What is Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter Syndrome also called perceived fraudulence is a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and their fear is being exposed as a fraud. It is a combination of stress, deep anxiety, and self-hatred which can be affected any generation at their workplace, or in academic areas.

Researchers found in the earliest studies that the Imposter syndrome had started with healthy nervousness and slowly it would become a workplace-introduce trauma and the cause of the imposter feelings were new roles, family upbringing, personality traits, and social anxiety. It has also been found from the study that these issues were found in people of color, particularly women of color, people of various income levels, genders, and professional backgrounds.

How to overcome it?

Psychologists suggest learning the facts about those all-negative emotions, sharing the feelings and failures too with others which not only reduces loneliness but others also share what they see in you, celebrate your all successes and do not move on too fast, cultivate self-compassion instead of focus on perfectionism to feel the progress and physical exercises. These are the only ways to grow out of the imposter phenomenon.

People mostly ignore their mental health issues and feel insecure to go for therapies or consultations with a doctor to cure them. We really support those who are concerned about their mental health and confessing publicly about their emotions.
