Five Types of Imposter Syndrome: Do Any of These Sound Familiar to You?
Despite having accomplished a lot of things, do you ever feel like a complete fraud or an imposter?
Well, you’re not alone. This is exactly how I felt in the morning when I almost crashed into another car. About 70% of professionals feel like they are imposters.
Generally, imposter syndrome refers to a sense of doubt that makes one believe that they are not good enough. Imposter syndrome makes one believe that they are inadequate and incompetent despite the existing evidence that suggests otherwise.
Experts have further categorized imposter syndrome into five subgroups:
the Perfectionist
the Expert
the Natural Genius
the Superwoman/man
and the Soloist
9 Notable Ways to Make Yourself Feel Special on Valentine's Day
February is the month of love. If you go into most stores now, you will notice that Valentine’s day specials and decorations have been up for awhile..
When you’re single, having all these things up in your face can be stressful.
In a way, it is a constant reminder that you are not in a relationship. In some cases, it can also make you feel lonely during a time when everyone seems to be focused on love and relationships.
Firstly, just because you aren’t seeing anyone doesn't mean you:
aren't loved (There are lots of types of love beyond romantic love.)
don't deserve love and all the good things that couples do for each other
Below are some ways you can enjoy Valentine’s Day alone and show yourself some love…
One Positive Action
Say “Yes” to a Challenge:
Your comfort zone is a cage. It might feel safe, but it’s also the reason you’re stuck. Growth doesn’t happen in familiar territory, it happens when you push yourself into the unknown. And the fastest way to do that? Say yes to a challenge before you talk yourself out of it.
Think about something that scares you, something that excites you and intimidates you at the same time. Maybe it’s speaking up in a meeting, signing up for a competition, or committing to a new goal. The second the opportunity comes up, don’t hesitate, say yes! Your brain will try to pull you back, it’ll try feeding you excuses, but that’s just fear disguising itself as logic. The real breakthrough comes when you override that hesitation and take action anyway.
The greatest moments of growth in life don’t come when you feel ready. They come when you decide to act, despite the uncertainty. And here’s the truth: confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you earn by stepping up, proving to yourself that you can handle more than you thought. So stop waiting for permission, stop waiting to feel "ready," (chances are you never really will feel totally ready) and take the challenge. Say yes! then figure it out as you go. That’s how you build a life that excites you instead of one that just feels safe.
