People think that successful people don't feel like impostors, but I think that the opposite is more likely to be true. Because the most successful people I know don't question themselves, but they do question their ideas, and their strategies. They know when the water is way too deep. They're not afraid to ask for some advice and they use that advice to hone in on their ideas. As long as you don't freeze, or let it paralyze you. Really it's about being aware of it. The feelings of Anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt.

I know that the research shows that its more prevalent with people who grew up with domestic violence, physical abuse, alcoholic parent, verbal abuse so you try to prove that you’re good enough, competent enough, shun compliments, gluten for punishment, high stress jobs or lifestyles

I’m not as good as the people around me, most people are convinced that they’re not good enough.

Its like having a real crappy best friend who is in your head, once you’re aware of this voice you can actually call them out about their limiting beliefs, procrastinating or trying to compare to others.

If You have signs of imposter syndrome don’t panic. You may be struggling with some heavy feelings of worthlessness. You’ve also probably convinced yourself that you’ve fooled people into believing that you are competent and capable when really, you’re just faking it. You also may see yourself as acting your way through life and waiting for the shoe to drop when people discover who you really are. (Are we on to something here?) You’ve got some work to do.

 Healing and confidence will come when you can look at the origins of your feelings (a therapist can help). This will allow you to move on to a more accurate and lasting sense of self. You will be better able to really internalize compliments and honest feedback from others and recognize where self-doubt is coming from when it pops up again in the future. Remember, you have gotten to where you are because, in the words of Stuart Smalley, “You’re good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.”

Many high achievers share a dirty little secret: Deep down they feel like complete frauds–their accomplishments the result of serendipitous luck.

This psychological phenomenon, known as imposter syndrome, reflects a belief that you’re an inadequate and incompetent failure despite evidence that indicates you’re skilled and quite successful.
