It’s been almost a year since the last short post that I made…oh well. Here’s something random (shower thoughts)

Thinking about imposter syndrome, I think it is quite unfortunate. Obviously, I think people who feel this phenomenon can either be using this feeling as a motivation to improve their skills in a good way, or have it gobble themselves to smithereens. Trending towards negative or positive influences on the self varies from person to person. I think the best overall strategy for anyone to approach this kind of problem is to simply focus on what is actionable and not think about the very existence of imposter syndrome. It is like pondering about the very existence of life and how you are alive to the point where it gets in the way of living. Finding the right balance for handling imposter syndrome, I think, should be focusing on what you can do to improve yourself in whatever is causing you to feel like an imposter in some domain, with a focus on your individual progress and how you are improving compared to your past self. Growth doesn’t have to be linear. So, put it out of sight, replace the space it occupies in your mind with something else that will either make you happy or make you better; maybe you can be fortunate enough where these overlap.
