Imposter Syndrome

Anyone with imposter syndrome asking themselves if they're qualified for their job. Just remember James Hird can fail in the most spectacular way the first time then be out of the game for a decade and still think he's qualified to be Essendon coach.

I'll start this post by saying how I've gotten to this point. I'm a junior sysadmin. For the past 3 years, 1 year has been IT Support, and coming in on 2 years has been in this Junior Role. The imposter syndrome comes from my first ever production screw up. Not even my fault per se, but its eating me alive. Summary? A windows updates corrupted a RAID driver and brought a production server to its knees for 24+ hours. We had backups, but not properly configured(Not my position to do). I had to bring on my "seniors" to assist. It's resolved now and no issues, however, I cannot stop thinking about being a fraud? It's now back to Junior duties, tickets, phones, emails, etc, and it's killing me. Sitting around I'm doing nothing. It feels like I'm waiting on the next thing to break. Then I start thinking "Oh no. Come 5 years I'll be the senior. I'll have to "Know Everything"" I know I don't have to know everything just be a good Googler, but what kills me is the time it takes, because I want to be fast, the thought of being the one to run the show, which scares me to death, and the thought of getting fired because I took too long other otherwise. Sorry for the long post, but since it occurred, my mind has been racing daily. submitted by /u/Bogart30 to r/sysadmin [link] [comments]

I recently got a promotion, and instead of feeling proud, I just feel like any day someone will realise I'm not actually qualified for it. It's really draining and I could use some advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Wonder-3342 to r/AskForAnswers [link] [comments]

If you have less than 5 years of full time experience providing therapy and you feel insecure, that isn't imposter syndrome. You're just new. Don't over pathologise yourself. Imposter syndrome is when you feel insecurity that is disproportionate to your experience and skill level. Your insecurity is appropriate. Your brain has correctly identified that this is a very hard job that even people with 30 years of experience have not mastered. It isn't a syndrome. There's no trick. You need do to more therapy to become more confident. If you didn't feel insecure right now you'd be a bit delusional. submitted by /u/Far_Preparation1016 to r/therapists [link] [comments]

my coworker with imposter syndrome actually does suck at her job Originally posted to Ask A Manager Original Post Feb 26, 2018 I am a woman and have a female coworker who, like most of us (myself included), struggles with impostor syndrome. Here’s the thing, Alison. She is LEGITIMATELY TERRIBLE at her job. She’ll bungle something up and someone will need to go bail her out. Projects that should take two weeks take a year (seriously). She claims to be making an effort to learn the technical skills required to do her job, but I have seen little-to-no improvement in the five (five!!) years she’s been at the company. We have interns outperforming her. It’s routine that she’s unable to perform her task, so someone else does it for her and then she often takes the credit. She claims that she’s not respected by coworkers because she’s a woman. But no, it’s because her work speaks for itself. This coworker often comes to me to discuss being a woman in the workplace and impostor syndrome, seemingly looking for validation. Whenever she messes something up or doesn’t understand something, she chalks up her feelings of not understanding to “impostor syndrome” and decides she’s actually skilled after all! It’s more “Dunning Kruger” than “impostor.” I’ve spent dozens of hours teaching her to do things that she ultimately forgets and bailing her out of simple tasks. As women, we’re constantly reminded to build up other women in the workplace. I feel like she expects this of me. She often cries (!) about impostor syndrome and then I feel bad and try to say some platitudes like “hey, you can learn how to do this” to make her feel better. I feel uncomfortable when she cries to me at work and feel as if a boundary is being crossed. In addition to being part of her personal mentorship squad/clean-up crew, I feel emotionally manipulated. I don’t know how to handle this. We share a manager who knows about her technical misgivings and how much of a resource drain she is, but he’s (inexplicably to everyone who works with her) kept her employed here for five years, so I don’t know what I’d even say to him. I find it unlikely that I’ll be able to affect her employment situation, but how do I extricate myself from being who she looks to for validation? Any other tips on dealing with a person like this? Update Dec 20, 2018 I took the advice and did a lot better at “short circuiting” conversations that veered toward the emotional. It felt extremely weird at first because I’d start going back to work and looking at my computer screen while she was still in my office staring at me, but eventually she got the point and would leave. It didn’t totally stop, but the conversations ended a lot sooner. The coworker still acts insane, but I got a lot better at redirecting it away from myself. A few months after the letter, I moved to a different team at the same company and I’m totally loving it – as a result, I don’t have much more interaction with that specific coworker. When I told her I was leaving the team for a new opportunity, she didn’t wish me well. She immediately started talking about how “oh yeah well I got a job offer too but I turned it down!”. Okaaaayyyyy. (I don’t think I believe it, but that’s beside the point). In the weeks after I started my new job, she actually tried asking me to physically come to her location and do some of her work. I didn’t play ball here – she stopped asking pretty fast. I occasionally see her when I visit my old boss (the commenters on the original post really went after him for allowing her ineptitude & the surrounding circus, but he was an amazing boss for a lot of reasons & I consider him a mentor). When I see her now, she bizarrely starts monologuing about how challenging/important/influential her work is (…it isn’t). It seems like she feels the need to “prove herself” to me now in front of her boss – it’s a strange interaction every time. Then later, she’ll often ping me and complain about how she’s having a hard time with work/personal life/”impostor syndrome”/whatever. Now that I’m removed from it, I totally see that her game is “pretend to know what she’s doing, and when someone figures out she doesn’t, play the woman card and make people, particularly people in power, feel bad for her” instead of actually working to get better at her job. This trick seems to have had moderate success so far (even on myself – I put up with her nonsense for too long), but I suspect it’ll catch up with her eventually. There’s rumors that her team is going to be disbanded or reorged or something – my old boss admitted that he’s trying to help her build skills so she’s actually employable by someone else after that happens. Ha! Anyway, glad I’m no longer involved in that hot mess & can just watch from the sidelines. Setting boundaries really helped me be less of a target for her & will help me deal with other difficult coworkers in the future. Thanks for the advice.

I have always had this on my mind as I've listened to podcasts and read about imposter syndrome in the workplace. How can you really tell you are just bad at your job or it's just imposter syndrome? From what I have read imposter syndrome is someone that doubts their abilities and accomplishments at work, they feel underserving and feel like they are letting the team down. I could never tell if I have imposter syndrome or just bad at my job. To put it into context. I'm a 36 year old female, working in administration roles for the last 10 years and only recently working in the cyber security industry without any experience. Throughout my time, I have wanted to climb the ladder and to be given opportunities as I work super hard to get whatever tasks completed however I have never been praised, no pay rises, no promotion. In fact the opposite, some of my projects and work that I have been given to other colleagues, I've felt confused a few times about how to perform a certain tasks at work and confused how someone has explained a task to me. I sometimes will make very minor mistakes of documents (a number or letter missing). I haven't been fired due to my work performance or have been told that my work performance has been lacking. Has anyone else felt this way? submitted by /u/Dear_Question_5116 to r/jobs [link] [comments]

I was having one of those panic attacks, where I keep thinking whether I am adhd, or just some lazy ass who pulled off an excuse to get a little extra time on tests and be a special snowflake. You know, the usual imposter syndrome attack. But then I stopped and thought back to my early life, where I had to call my friends daily to ask if we had homework. I also had hyperfocus, I could watch the TV for entire days without being bored, or play lego non-stop. Hell, I even was underweight because I skipped lunches and dinners to play or watch TV. Also, the hyperactive side, I used to be so excited by good endings, I literally ran circles in the room. A few years ago, when those hoverboards were popular, I used to read books and watch movies while riding it around my room. If you ever have one of those imposter syndrome moments, just think back to your past, of those moments when adhd is literally like the only explanation for your behavior. TL;DR: Read the last paragraph. submitted by /u/ArtemIsGreat to r/ADHD [link] [comments]
