I think it is because of our weakening culture. Children used to get their identity from their family and community, which trained you in a path you could follow into adulthood. Now, at least in American culture, there are way too many options to provide adequate preparation for all of them, and even the best parents and schools have limited understanding of the world into which they are sending their children. Young adults are much more on their own than ever before, and I expect it is worse in America, the so-called land of opportunity.
- sametmax 10y agoIt's true that culture can give you a sense of legitimity that will wear off the feeling of being an imposter. But cultures always have an agenda, and they give a positive feedback only if you follow it. Unfortunaly i have yet to met a culture whose agenda is to raise happy people. So you are still an imposter, you just don't know it, and worst, you feel entitled because you respect your cultures values. And well, let's just say than on all important topic such as sex, personnal growth, feeling, suffering, happiness, etc. I never witness a culture that I could label sane. Not necessarly evil, but not a power of good either.
