Why You Always Feel Like an Imposter

- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- I’ve struggled with feeling incompetent and imposter syndrome for most of my life. And it’s caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. But that’s because I didn’t understand it. In fact, imposter syndrome can even beneficial. And when I began to understand it, I realized that it could be used as a tool for productivity and happiness. So if you’re struggling with limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome, this is for you.

I felt so understood! I’ve always felt this way, and it even made me sick because of the negative thoughts and anxiety which came with it. Thank you for the practical tips! Great channel.
Thanks! Yep we all experience this to some extent
I realized this a few months back and I guarantee life just feels a lot better to manage and worth managing. One of the most common thought I had was that "I'm not good enough and that anybody could do that." I learnt it the hard way that, well why can't that be you!
This is late but congratulations on 1 million subscribers. You guys were the first to force me to critically evaluate my study strategies and for that I am eternally grateful.
The 'expose yourself' picture was so hilarious... lol!
The most deserving 1 million subscriber channel. Hearty Congratulations 🎉
We did it! Thanks for the support

I didn't realize so many people struggle with this. My struggle is thinking that I don't know things I actually do, like the ranges for high bp or comparing myself to my former self who didn't really get good grades. I think "wait, am I really working in healthcare like I've always wanted to? How did I get here. Did I really achieve this?" Yeah imposter syndrome can suck, but your video provides great tips. Thank you!
Love your guys' transparency and such a wholesome work you do for random people like me for free. Thank you and if I could I'd gladly pay for this stuff
Loved zenitsu example haha. I personally like him more than anyone. And by the way I always have this problem where I find myself writing wrong answers to the questions I know answer to. And then afterwards realise and be like, " oh damn it's such an easy question! How did I not notice my mistake?????" How do I solve this problem?
As annoying as his character is sometimes, gotta love the struggle
I absolutely adore you both❤❤
You both are helping many hopeless students like me
I am a future Programmer and I can get rid of all the obstacles with you guys by my side and I can cross my fingers on that🤞🏻
Awesome as always. Thanks again, you keeping me in ways you just don't know. Great video.
It's really cool to figure out you struggled with that. I had no schooling until I went to get my G.E.D, it took me 4 months to get it. I went to college afterwards it felt like I didn't deserve it because I would think about how everyone else did it in 12 years. Thanks for the vid.😊
Very helpful video, thank you!
Congrats on the 1 million subscribers ❤
going to university this september and have been real bored over the summer so imma just binge all of Cajun's and Justin Sung's vids hoping i find some useful tips so i breeze past uni.
ilysm
bro your animations are littttt
I really loves all your videos its very clear to understand, Please make a videos about alter ego
Love your videos
I didn't know I needed this Video from you Guys, Thanks a bunch!
You’re welcome! What’d you like about it?
Loved the practical tips for Imposter Syndrome, I suffer a lot from this and hesitate to celebrate my success
Stoicism helped me a lot! And reading books too.
Watching your videos are the only times in my life that I felt like self improvement is within reach and plausible for a complete idiot like myself
Let me take this moment to praise your editing skills, bros. Like everyone will know that you've put 100% effort into making your videos, aside from the valuable lessons. 👏🔥
I love the prowler theme song 😂when exposing yourself
Good morning/afternoon/evening! I just wanna say that the editing of that video is sick! Comepared to the last one that was posted just last month- at least i see the improvement! Good job to all of them!
Congratulations on 1 million subs. You both deserve so much more. I have been watching your videos for a long time and I can never thank you both enough for them. ❤❤❤
Thanks we are headed for the moon 🌚
I love them that’s it.All about real self development and growth
Being upfront and honest is a good lesson because it also encourages you to not undersell your good qualities either. Sometimes for the sake of not coming across too insecure or too narcissistic I’ll just straight up lie and try to portray myself as the most average person ever, ESPECIALLY with dating. What’s the point of that lol?
can you guys make an energy management video
Very useful video
Thanks! What was helpful about it?
I tend to undermine my own achievements. I always feel "lucky" not prepared or skillful at sth.
Okay, but what if I’m actually just incompetent tho.
I’m struggling with sleeping all day. I might have delayed phase sleep disorder and it’s properly ruining my life.
I wake up so late and miss a lot, have to reschedule a lot. It’s horrid.
I don’t know how to fix this. I’M 25 !!!
Awesome vid tho, gave me a lot to think about. That said, I think therefore I am and all that jazz right.
What if you stop doing anything at all from fear of failure?
I disagree with the idea that imposter syndrome is based in insecurity, at least in the sense typically given. I see it as the emotional component of critical thinking.
Any complex task includes uncertainty. We build chains of reasoning based on judgement calls that aren't guaranteed to be correct, and we feel discomfort proportional to each layer of doubt. As the chain of decisions gets longer, the uncertainties multiply: "I'm about 80% confident of B, but B depends on A and I'm only about 80% confident of A" and so on. Our brains excel at doing that kind of math in the background and giving us the results in a feels-right/feels-wrong format. That's how we run and throw rocks at moving targets.
I'd argue that -- at least often -- the feelings we call imposter syndrome come from objectively correct awareness that we're working at the end of a chain of uncertain dependencies.. and metaphorically, we can feel the branch swaying. The feeling takes us by surprise because we don't start from fundamentals. We get half a dozen indicators and feel around for something plausible, not consciously recognizing that we're starting ten layers deep in uncertainty. The 'stand upright and catch a ball' parts of our brain know it though, and even if we succeed, they know how much our success depends on the luck of our low-level assumptions being correct (or at least not wrong enough to make us fail).
To fight imposter syndrome, calibrate your knowledge. Instead of starting from, "I've heard of X being done and think I can do it too," go do X and record what you learn. That moves your confidence out of your head and into the world. I don't trust my ability to solve X tomorrow, or the vague memory of having done something X-like somewhere in the past. I trust the notes I took while actually solving X last year (and yeah, it was harder than I expected). I don't trust my knowledge of procedures, I trust the checklist I've used a hundred times and have refined every time I found a problem.
Even then, it's usually impossible to eliminate all uncertainty. In those cases, imposter syndrome is a cue that you have too many imperfect assumptions to feel comfortable. If you ask "where are the weak spots in my current thinking?", I'm pretty sure you'll be able to write a list. Do so, then go through the list to find the pieces you can solve, delegate, risk manage, and so on.
Confidence isn't a personal quality. It's a work product. Doing more work to be more confident takes longer, but it moves external complaints from "do you even know what you're doing?" to "what's taking so long?" In the latter case you can usually position yourself to answer, "I have this doubt, and this is what I'm doing to resolve it. If you know a faster solution, please teach me."
Hey, this is a reply but I what should you try to do when it's impossible to get less than 6 hours of sleep every weekdays? I need to study and I need to get enough rem sleep
Who edits for you guys? I’m looking to start my own UA-cam channel and maybe I could hire them
U very cool guys. I watch all yours videos.
Listen, what do you think about related illusion of competition with imposter syndrome? Maybe it's sides of the same coin?
Wait the title changed?
Can you make proper guided video for PCM students...
What is pcm students?
@@CajunKoiAcademy students who are studying physics chemistry maths at a competition exam level. in india JEE exam is held for students to get engineering college.

Interesting
My first time being early haha
Persian subtitle please❤
i feel like an impostor even when i am 200% transparent, so idk what to do
Hi
I'm early!
You are 😎
hi
Helloo
Present
Let me share something
This year I have started college (engineering major) and like any other common student I failed my first major test. I scored 8/40 whereas the passing marks was 12
Guess what while handing us the the answer sheets, he told me "You should just leave Maths" and I have never ever felt more purposeless in my entire life
HELLO
Hai hai
There is an impostor among us
do you know why I don't have imposter syndrome ?
it's because to feel like an imposter, you have to be successful first
& I'm not successful at anything
if you are never successful, then you will never feel like an imposter who doesn't deserve the success
loop hole 😝😝

Whenever we feel down always Remember that God is there for us to encourage us no matter how hard or problematics the things we went through! Jesus cares for us no matter how many sins we did He can still forgive us if we humble ourselves let's accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Jesus Loves, Jesus Saves!
YEAAAA
And Jesus forgives.
Again and again and again
@@KnowledgeSeeker008 Amen!
@@ngutgaming8216 Jesus is fricken Awesome. We don’t deserve it at all but he shows us loads of mercy. He has the power to annihilate us but he is our advocate and friend. ✝️
Be a Muslim guy and you will see 😊
I am a Muslim, and I also feel incompetent, this feeling does not discriminate.......the more you look on others for validation more you feel incompetent......it is a thing one hardly gets over
