Do you ever feel like you`re not good enough, even when you succeed? You could be experiencing imposter syndrome.
Imposter syndrome is when you feel like you`re not good enough, even though you`ve experienced success and achievements. You might think you don`t deserve your success and worry that others will discover you`re not as capable as they believe.
It may come from past experiences, high expectations, feeling out of place and pressures from culture, society or family. It`s also common when you`re in a new environment, like starting school, a new job, or joining a new community.
Many post-secondary students experience these feelings, especially when starting university or college. Try to remind yourself that these thoughts don`t reflect your actual abilities or worth.
If you`re experiencing imposter syndrome, you`re not alone. Here are some tips that may help you manage these feelings.
If you`d like to connect with someone about what you’re feeling, Good2Talk is available 24/7.
