I agree that there is steps you can take to increase your confidence, but the imposter syndrome can very much be caused by your environment, besides just being a personal thing to overcome. If other people doubt you, and don't trust your skills, then you will feel like an imposter, and a solution might be to look for a more inclusive environment, or if you have the strength and the courage, tackle the challenge head on. I wrote a bit about it here Imposter syndrome is about systemic discrimination.

Thanks for this article!
