I’ve ejected so many impostors in-game, but there’s one I can’t quite gauge
So picture that: Optimistic, idealistic twentysomething first-time jobseeker gets reality check after taking on an urgent project they have zero ideas about.I stepped out of college thinking my skills and hard work would be enough to wow potential employers. But I’ll be real, that moment was a much-needed reality check.
Even now that I’m actually employed, several months into the job, that feeling still lingers. But at the time, I didn’t know what to call it. I had no idea how to describe it because I felt all these emotions. There’s discontent with the work I put out. The intimidation with anyone who shows a sliver of initiative on the team. The constant voice nagging inside my head and unnecessarily nitpicking parts of myself that aren’t even issues in the first place. And, oh yeah, overthinking.
Lurking around Reddit however did answer my questions. Apparently it’s impostor syndrome. That odd feeling that you don’t deserve what you have or where you are in life at the moment because of the idea that you only achieved it through sheer dumb luck.
