Not sure if it'll be helpful to you. But for me stoicism (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/stoicism/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/stoicism/) as a philosophy made my life so much easier. I don't remember last time if ever I had ever had an impostor syndrome.
The crux of that philosophy is that you should only worry about things that are in your control. Most things in life aren't such as the made up comparisons of you vs other people.
The other solution that helped me is just to get good at one thing (for me it was keyboard optimizations). So I have at least something I can say I am better than probably anyone.
- enroxchd 6y agoThanks, believe it or not it helps to get any pointers on this. I started my career working in C++, Ruby on Rails and Sybase in Investment Banking. Then moved to Telecom and it was Python, C++, Javascript, Oracle, and MongoDB. Few years later I'm working on Cloud (AWS, Azure, Golang and .NET Core). Again after few more years it's Golang, C++, Image Processing, machine Learning, ReactJS and AWS. In a span of 6 odd years having to learn all this, it's been taking toll on me as I didn't know where I was going with all this. Hence the feeling of being lost :-)
