I was recently seeing a girl with Imposter Syndrome. Apparently it mostly affects women. She didn’t believe she could do anything well. She was constantly worried she was not doing well at her job though I pointed out things she did well just about every day. Basically people with this disorder don’t believe they are worthy of praise and any accomplishment they might have made is reasoned away by believing they were being recognized simply because other people want to make them feel better for sucking at everything. They don’t suck at everything. They just believe they do.
