I cannot tell you how much I dislike this constant talk of "imposter syndrome".
The idea that us as individuals need to constantly be judging ourselves as it relates to how we perceive others is a road to self deprecation and a life of uncertainty.
This is not good for personal growth. Like many things talking about "imposter syndrome" has become more of a "fad" or thing to do because others are, but if I'm being honest, it is nothing but determental.
Unless you are saying "hi my name is Mark Zuckerberg and I was involved in the creation of what is now know as Facebook(meta)"....
THEN YOU ARE NOT AN IMPOSTER.
You are you. We all are who we are unless we tell others we're someONE else.
When you were a baby and had to be spoon fed, were you a impostering a toddler?
When you were in grade school, were you impostering an adult working a full-time job in their career of choice?
Always remember that just because everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, doesn't mean the wagon isn't going off a cliff.

Thanks for mentioning this, I also read "Imposter Syndrome" a lot and think this is some kind of trend.
thank you, your text was very important to me because of this week. God bless you
