Impostor Syndrome: My Personal Experience

Previously, no one could have imagined that such a syndrome exists. But with the growth of society, its transformations and the ability to master any profession literally a couple of months after completing specialized courses, it has become more explicit and frequent.





Hi, I am Anton and I run a digital agency. Impostor Syndrome, I think, was the most used phrase in all podcasts and interviews last year (this year everyone switched to “survivor's mistake”). Therefore, I decided to figure out if I have this syndrome, and in general: what it is, how it can manifest itself and how to deal with it.

  4. Remind yourself that you are good at what you do. Classic trick: thoughts can change behavior. Think more often that you are a great specialist, so that later you can finally believe in it.





  5. Accept failure . Even the best athletes do not take on new heights one day, the best lawyers lose cases, the best goalkeepers let the balls pass. Failures, losses, and accidental mistakes are all part of the job. Don't let this define you. Learn from your mistakes and move forward.
