A short one because it’s sunday
I’ve always heard the term “Imposter Syndrome” but never really understood what it meant. I’ve never really thought about the meaning behind the term and just assumed it meant someone pretending to be more competent than they actually are.
LITTLE DID I KNOW IT WAS THE OPPOSITE.
I was telling a friend the other day how strong and amazing they were for growing so much this past year, to which they responded with “it was thanks to your help too”.
Of course I disagreed immediately.
But, after we talked I thought about it some more. It’s not the first time someone says my actions had an effect on them, but even so, it’s still hard for me to believe.
At work, some people tell me I do too much outside of my pay grade, yet I personally don’t believe I do enough.
It’s a constant battle in my head. Trying to accept praise from others even though I personally feel like I’m not living up to other’s, and more importantly, my own expectations.
