The meaning of Imposter Syndrome

In this week's learning, I've learned of Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is not considered a mental illness, it can affect anyone but is commonly found in high achievers. You can experience imposter syndrome for a few weeks to a lifetime. For example, having a sense of becoming a fraud, the fear of being found out, and the difficulty of keeping your accomplishments. Overall, having a difficult time accepting your success. In my opinion, I do believe that someone has experienced this type of syndrome at one point time in their life.
