"Any moment now, they are going to realise they made a mistake hiring me. I bet they have already caught on that I am a fake."

If this sounds like your inner monologue, echoing feelings of inadequacy, you are likely experiencing imposter syndrome.

What does imposter syndrome feel like?

Imposter syndrome—also referred to as fraud syndrome or imposter experience can result in increased feelings of anxiety and depression. Moreover, this can impact an individual's performance. It is particularly common among high achievers who, despite their successes, often doubt their abilities and fear being exposed as a fraud. In addition to this, studies suggest that many people experience these feelings. Therefore, knowing that you are not alone in your feelings can help significantly.

We understand that there is no one approach to addressing and overcoming imposter syndrome, this is because each person is unique. Therefore, this can result from many factors, including social, cultural, educational, and family environments.
