Yes, the Imposter Syndrome You Experience is That Deep.

Imposter syndrome is defined by a strong doubt and a lack of belief in who you are and your abilities. But it’s more than that. It also shows up as the idea that when you are yourself, demonstrate your genuine traits, or take up space, that others will cast you out as a liar. Basically, imposter syndrome says, “everyone is waiting to prove that you are a fraud.” You keep waiting for the moment that everyone will figure out that are not the person you claim to be.

Imposter syndrome typically shows up in how you feel towards and around others: you start to feel like you are always putting on a show. You tell yourself that you have to look a certain way so that no one figures out you are really something or someone else. Let's explore some common signs of imposter syndrome to help you identify it in yourself.
