Imposter Syndrome

Internally, you feel like a fraud.

“I constantly feel like I’m on the edge of being exposed as a fraud. No matter how much I achieve or how many accolades I receive, I can’t shake the feeling that I don’t truly deserve it. It’s like a voice keeps telling me I’m not as competent as people think I am, and one day they’ll realize it, too.”

“I set such high standards that it’s hard to feel satisfied even when I achieve something. There’s this relentless need for everything to be flawless, and any imperfection feels like a personal failure. I feel trapped in a cycle of striving for an unattainable level of perfection, and it’s exhausting.”

“I constantly question my worth and abilities. No matter what I do, there’s this nagging feeling that I’m not good enough. It’s like a voice always highlighting my flaws and mistakes, making it hard to see any value in myself. It’s a struggle to believe that I deserve success or happiness.”
