Weird thing I have noticed is that, in my career job, I get imposter syndrome, and work frantically to try to "keep up", but if I'm recognised/thanked for working so efficiently, my productivity instantly tanks because I'm not as freaked out about getting things done, it's like a cycle
@Moose92411
Getting into my late 30's and shedding my lifelong need to be validated by other people and external mechanisms has been the single biggest promoter of my own mental health, bar none
@BIGDOlNK
I agree Dr. K, I've stopped celebrating and started this cycle of panicking and working harder instead of patting myself on the back. There's been success in my life so far from this loop. I only got into this cycle when I stopped seeking validation for others though.
@kagura7107
Literally just "fake it until you make it" but you have a chance to sublime and improve your overall self.
@infernothegreat1041
This makes sense. I’ve been trying hard lately to not seek validation from others, but to try to be happy with my own achievements. It’s been something I’ve struggled with, but getting off of social media more has helped.
@Godnando00
At first I was like "that's not true, I don't" and then I remembered I'm not successful
@connorgames6668
Bro I don't want to panic all the time. I'm a cardiac physiologist and I suffer with this a lot. When people's lives are in my hands the responsibility is unreal. I couldn't imagine how the Drs feel
@alvaromoe
What if you have impostor syndrome and not work hard at all? :(
@ChrisGeden
Then everyone expects you to work twice as hard all the time and you burn out.
@dreamingacacia
I'm not there yet. But when I become successful one day, I wouldn't have the imposter syndrome. Because I'm working hard, and I'm deserved to be there.
@cloroxart
I’m suffering from success rn 😩
@MrGreendayzed
Yeah streamers/content creators have I.S. because they are successful.... not because they have to pretend/act in a way to make their fans keep liking them.
@shaysc5896
well if its a "helpful" adaptation why should we want to get rid of it. Sure it's a burden but if that's what keeps me grinding and achieving I think the trade off is worth it. Or is there a way to be both highly successful and not have impostor syndrome. i.e grind consistently without relying on anxiety as a motivator
@greensnake6943
Well, you are wrong Dr! I panic, but I don't work twice as hard. Somehow I start sabotaging myself.
@yangtimothy7351
because most of them are, in fact, not deserving
@ThatBoyBent
It's not family and friends asking for money ? And people being jealous. ?
@5uperM
I dunno. For me impostor syndrome makes me want to work less and less.
@awa418
honestly worth the harm lmao)
