Why some people struggle from Imposter Syndrome

Why some people suffer from imposter syndrome - Page 1

Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon in which individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a “fraud”. Why does this happen?


Despite external evidence of their competence, those suffering from imposter syndrome believe they are not as competent as others perceive them to be and fear that they will be exposed as a fraud.

There are several factors that may contribute to the development of imposter syndrome. For example, individuals who have experienced failure in the past may be more prone to imposter syndrome, as they may doubt their ability to succeed in the future.

Additionally, people who have high levels of perfectionism may also be more likely to experience imposter syndrome, as they may hold themselves to unrealistic standards and believe that anything less than perfection is failure.

Imposter syndrome can also be fuelled by societal expectations and stereotypes. For example, individuals who belong to groups that are underrepresented in their field may feel like they have to work harder to prove their worth and may be more prone to imposter syndrome as a result.

It is important to recognize that imposter syndrome is a common experience and does not reflect one’s actual abilities. Seeking support from friends, family, and a mental health professional can help individuals overcome imposter syndrome and build self-confidence in their abilities.
