Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome is the internal experience of believing you’re not as competent or capable as others perceive you to be — even when there’s clear evidence of your success.

People with imposter syndrome often:

• Feel like they’re “faking it”

• Attribute achievements to luck or timing

• Fear being “found out” as a fraud

• Set impossibly high standards for themselves

It can affect anyone — from students to seasoned professionals — and is especially common among high-achievers, creatives, and people navigating spaces where they feel underrepresented or unseen.
