I'm glad I'm finding this channel in its early days. I'm still waiting to get a diagnosis, but the more research I do the more things seems to fall into place. Maybe I'll finally figure out my messed up life and actually grow up--late, but better than never. I feel like impostor syndrome has held me back my entire life. I won't apply for jobs because I don't think I'm good enough, or I'm unqualified. I constantly give up on my own channel because I think I'm boring or have an annoying voice. I want to sell my art, but I never put it up because everyone seems better than me.
Oh you are not alone. I am the same way when it comes to apply for jobs. I could read through a job description and the moment I read one thing that I have not done, I feel i'm not qualified to apply. So frustrating. I still think I am boring and I don't like the sound of voice either when I'm editing my videos. But what I can say is people with ADHD look at time in two ways... Now and Not Now. I say this because we watch other UA-camrs and think they are amazing (Now), but what we don't see is the time it took them to grow (Not Now). As hard as it is, we just can't compare ourselves to other people. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much for watching. For me it was tough getting diagnosed late in life, but at the same time it was a bit of a relief knowing that I wasn't just a lazy space cadet. Just remember, as long as you love photography keep taking photos and growing your craft you ARE enough even when it doesn't feel it. Thank you so much for watching.
If it helps, I started watching your videos with your Inattentive ADHD video and I could tell right away that you had photography experience! The lighting was great! I caught that right away! I’ve done photography for the past 11 years and have even been published in Alaska Magazine several times, and I still never felt I was very good at it 🤷🏻♀️ but I loved it, so I kept going lol
I'm afraid to tell my family about what my issues are because i don't want them calling into doubt about everything i say. You just know that they might call me a liar or a BS artist even though i'm 65 and made a good life for myself and them. I Have a rare form of Autism also which makes it tough to learn things even though i have been tested several times and found to have an IQ of 159.
I could crealy relate... i had impostor (or lucky stupid) syndrome as far as i rember, but i almost sure then maybe world but sure my country never heard about adhd.... but it clearly has fare share or was soley source of it... and my passion (programinng) causes impostor syndrome in "normal people" too... so level 9000
I have ADHD. Combination. Im in graduate school, I get paid more than some of my classmates because I have experience yet I feel I'm the dumbest in the program. My boss gives me extra responsibilities because she says I'm great and trusts my research capabilities yet I feel I suck at deciphering articles. My coworkers say I'm amazing with kids. I still feel like this hyper sloppy person in a fancy medical agency that got lucky to get there. It's a constant mental battle no matter how successful you are
Hi there. It makes me feel better knowing that I'm not alone here. I really don't like when my boss tells me that they trust me for certain responsibilities. That alone puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders because it takes a lot for me not to say "Well, at least one of us trust me!". You are right though, it's a constant mental battle.

Bro, you desserve so much more subscribers. Keep up the good work!
COMPLETELY relatable. My whole life is imposter syndrome.
Love your videos! I was just dianosed last month at 32. I am a photographer too and still don't think I am enough. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve always turned down offers of promotion at work, I never felt like I was good enough. Maybe now I know why.

Good video and explanation. I'm at the top of my class yet still feel like I'm the bottom and don't know what I'm doing.
This video resonates 100% to me 😅

Mind if ask where the picture at 2:41 was taken. It's beautiful.
