I don't have imposter syndrome, I have crippling debt and sleep problems
having impostor syndrome among CEOs with incredibly overinflated egos is just called being normal you dumbfuck
It's telling that there's still a spiritual malaise in the hearts of the people most successful under capitalism. It's a terrible system even for the people it most greatly benefits
you work hard and you don't win. You do something basic that other people worked on and you win. It doesn't make sense and you know you don't deserve it but you can't give it up because everyone else wants it.
is imposter syndrome real? i mean on a basic level the idea just seems accurate. actual distribution is luck based with a wide range of people capable of handling most jobs and individual talent levels not being all that indicative of success.
Imposter syndrome is real, there is one among us right now :sus-deep:
do feds on this site suffer from double imposter syndrome?
one for not being a real fed, and one for not being a real poster?
if a chapo got hired as a fed, would this cancel out?
It is on some level. Its a symptom of low confidence.
Professionals that have to pass a test still feel it even after passing. Which seems quite odd, as that is the only qualifier to be the thing they feel they don't qualify as.
Depending on the field, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that once you enter the professional workforce for the first time out of school/college/whatever, you're going from an environment where everyone is at a roughly equal level of education, to one where some of your coworkers will have 20+ years of experience in the field. A new hire thinks that they're not doing as good of a job as the people who have more experience (which in fairness, they aren't), and that self-doubt sticks with you even as you progress through your career.
I always feel like I’m not actually good enough to do my job and people are gonna find out and call me out on it eventually. Honestly had a long time of not making much progress in my career bc of it. I still don’t really push like I should tbh
No, in my experience it's the exact opposite. Most people in white collar professional jobs know that their jobs are bullshit or far easier than people think, and they're just waiting for the metaphorical curtain call.
People who claim to have "imposter syndrome" are just telling you that they are Dunning-Kruger cases a lot of the time. They think they're important because a title or piece of paper says so, but they are actually really, really dumb if they think a prestigious job is actually hard. Or they're just lying to you to discourage you from finding out the ruse.
to be fair...I imagine there isn't a huge level of satisfaction in getting a load of money selling some website.
I don't really know the story of how twitch "was made"....but I imagine it seems a bit like a hollow accomplishment....mostly cause it is."I remade youtube but with a chat feature"
innovation capitalism
that's why impostor syndrome is so common, it's because the shit you do is usually fucking mundane and anybody can be taught to do it, so when you actually do it you feel like you're not actually that special or important to the job, because you're literaly not
Yeah, all these fucking tech failsons acting like they're actually Isembard Kingdom Brunel or Sergi Korolev or something.
You made a fucking app. It's bad and you should feel bad.

The ennui of knowing that you achieved a PMC lifetime achievement award and enough money to live opulently for a thousand lifetimes at the tender age of 38.
I definitely get the "Is this all there is?" vibe. But I can't imagine coming off that rollercoaster thinking less of myself when it just shat a billion dollars in my direction.
What if I told you that peepee and poopoo?
This is for anyone experiencing shidding and farding:
Justin, call me. You don't have my number but you're richer than a James Bond villain - you can get it. In fact - you don't even need to talk to me if that's too much. Just transfer ~99.9999% of your money to me and I'll distribute it to people who need help. Keep - say - $100k for yourself so you can stay hungry and start over.
Eh. I mean I gues it all comes down to your own philosophical outlook on life, but I tend to agree with the Buddhist and Pessimistic view that life is a long cycle of desire, fleeting satisfaction or even disappointment, boredom, and once again desire. I can totally see how even billions could still leave someone unsatisfied, right or wrong.
That's also part of why we need socialism, because while "muh human nature" is a meme in leftist circles, I say much of human nature is an argument for ML policies; why do we have a system that encourages some of the worst behaviours people have to offer?
fuck off. go buy yourself a bunch of servants to follow you around and remind you that you are a living god on earth or whatever you guys do
Seeing the word PMC in the title of a post here makes me instantly check the user name out of habbit
