      It’s not imposter syndrome if you’re actually incompetent and worthless, but society is so rotten to the core they don’t notice anymore.

        Oh. If you’re incompetent at work we notice. It’s just not our job to be on your shit at all times.

      Everyone keeps saying that, but how can I get 8 hours of work done in 3 hours tops but make it look like it took all day while stressing me all day?

      I don’t think there’s anything as imposter syndrome, people who’re good know it

        Do you honestly think, in the history of humankind, there’s never been someone brilliant with super low confidence? Hell, even competent with uncertainty counts as imposter syndrome.

        I know countless people that are amazing at something but are super unsure of themselves or don’t believe the product of their work is that good.

        I, on the other hand, am actually a dumbass.

          No, but it’s all relative. Everyone estimates themselves incorrectly at times, but not all the time

          Edit to say I know I am mediocre and I don’t fool myself with thinking my lack of capability is imposter syndrome. I think that realization helps me, but ymmv 🤷‍♀️
