  1. Imposter!

    Daily writing prompt Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are? View all responses

    Do be honest, I don’t really think about that at all. It’s not that I don’t care, but what’s the point? I was just going to type “When I was younger…” and an image of an old skin and bones guy with a scraggly white beard wearing a red flannel shirt and suspenders sitting in a rocking chair with a gaggle of children sitting in a semi-circle in front of him popped into my mind. And while looking down at those children he leans forward, and with one hand on his knee and the other waving his pipe around in the air he says, “Why when I was your age children…”

    When I was going to school the prompt question was phrased as nature vs. nurture and I can say I didn’t care much about back then either.

    Why when I was your age children I didn’t care much about anything.

    Unless you’re a psychologist, or a behavioral psychologist or whatever, why does it matter?

    Now on to the important stuff. Today Rojie asks: Write about a time when you felt like you had imposter syndrome. Well, to continue being honest, I don’t really know. I frequently have bouts of self-doubt and I can often see successes in life as luck or just having been in the right place at the right time. That’s how I frequently think about my writing and I haven’t really thought about it, but it’s probably the reason I write stuff and file it away and never submit anything for publication. I dismiss any compliments I might receive as the person offering them just trying to be kind. If grade school was good for anything, it was honesty. Because while getting picked last in gym class for whatever unpleasant thing we might have had to do that day was painful, it was at least honest. No false sincerity there, no jock pranks there, just what I knew to be true there. So this, blogging – yesterday, tomorrow, right now – would be one of those times I feel like I had imposter syndrome.

    I just watched the movie Us the other day which was all about imposters. It was a good movie for what it was, but I hated the ending. Endings like that can ruin the entire movie for me and I think the only reason they’re done is to generate buzz. I’m wondering now if it’s not done because of a sense of imposter syndrome by the writer or director? Maybe they don’t think the movie is good enough as it stands so they add something to get people talking? In this case the ending really contradicted the plot of the movie so it brought the whole movie into question.

  3. min utflyttade dotter kom o hälsade på igår! Mest för hundens skull men ändå. Spelade några rundor Imposter vid middagsbordet. Enkelt o lite roligt ändå! Finns många appar (bara en telefon behövs)

    Nokto de freŝa neĝo ĉiam plenigas la parkejon de la skigondolo la sekvan matenon.

  13. Während Menschen aus anderen Bereichen mit einem (selbst so definierten) Notfall zu mir kommen, der gar nicht meinen Bereich betrifft - sie aber nicht wissen, wer sonst helfen soll - möchte mir die Kollegin aus dem Nebenraum dringend ein lustiges YT-Video zeigen. Der stellvertretende Chef liest indes die Speisekarte der Kantine über den Flur vor.

    Meine Nerven..

    Hab getan, was ich konnte. Und bin jetzt fix & fertig aus Angst, was übersehen zu haben.

  15. Wrestling with an imposter syndrome. In some things I don't have it, but if I need to give a presentation just because "I have to"... Bloooooody hell. I need to get over from the "I have nothing to say." Because I sure have.

    ... Frida be my worrier and the devil inside of me... 🙃😁 (The eyebrows should be bigger.)

  16. @maxleibman I find that a bad false mustache in public raises enough questions that no one approaches.

  17. The reason why I *know* I'm not a very good programmer is that once in a while I stumble upon something which objectively looks like quite a simple problem, but my mind isn't able to fit the puzzle together in the correct order despite knowing what the pieces are, which are the starting ones and what the end result needs to look like.

    (And this happens for relatively small number of pieces too, n ~=5)

    The reverse of that is that I am somehow able to read requirements and make architecture decisions for large scope issues and reach, most of the time, the correct goal.

  19. I often get imposter syndrome, especially at work. These days when it happens, I simply remind myself that Donald Trump is president of a country, and then it gets better.

  20. @brianb it’s the . There’s nothing in what you shared!

  21. Arthur Knight was convicted in a Utah court earlier today of rape.

    If you wanna say, "You can't make that shit up.", you would be wrong. This is the stuff Hollywood movie scripts are made of - except he made it all up, including over half a dozen names, his own death from Lou Gerrig's disease, and a Harvard education, among other scholarly accomplishments.

    But you should see for yourself, really. This is almost unbelievable - as is just about anything "Nick", has ever said...

  28. Mostly, I have my inner #imposter quite under control. I know I'm intelligent, know my stuff. I also know I'm not half as intelligent as I might think. And I also do not have an issue in stating "I don't know". Mostly with a "let's find out" followed.

    And then comes the times, often when stressed, I take every mistake as evidence I'm an imposter. Soon after I take every critique as evidence of my uselessness. I get angry with myself, with others. And I stop thinking. Hate those, but they pass.
