Do you suffer from it? Here, home, work, elsewhere?

Oh definitely! At home mainly... These are my monkeys, it is my circus. Who made me the ringleader!?

On here too, I guess. Haven't been here long 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Everywhere. Especially at work. Sometimes on here. On here what I feel is less often imposter syndrome though.

I get it at work a lot. I'm not even qualified for the job I do 😬

On here now and then I get the feeling that everyone belongs, knows what they are doing and bangs like gods... and I rock up and do whatever the hell it is I do 😅

Luckily, home is my safe space where I feel I completely belong.

I tend more towards believing nothing is real and we are all figments of each others imagination.

It's hard to feel like an imposter when nothing is real to begin with.

I can see that. I've always gone with I'm also not real.

I think that's why I appear ignorant, I run with they can't really be talking to me as I don't exist.

I think I have whatever the opposite is. I always think I'm better at something than I actually am. I've gone through life leaving a trail of very disappointed people in my wake

Yes, but not as often as I used to. In my head I still feel about 17, so to have to function as an adult can be slightly daunting at times.

That's me.

Brain surgery anyone? I'm sure I could manage it I've watched every episode of Casualty.

Yeah, I used to get it at work a lot, especially when starting a new job and wondering if I would be written off as I'm not understanding things quickly enough to be useful or having a reputation with colleagues as being the "weak worker" that always needs help.

I also have it in clubs quite a lot where I look at the women and couples and I just wonder what I could give them that the ton of other guys there can't and that can really overwhelm me and make me feel like I shouldn't be there.

I can kind of relate. it's not so much I believe I can do it though. I'm just quite content to give it a go, brain surgery - what's the worst that could happen?

Only during one period where I was headhunted for a particular role and within 6 months realised I wasn't doing the job I had been employed to do and the goalposts were moving every week.
