I like to think that no one knows my failures better than me. So it’s natural that I’ll think I did worse than I actually did. Many times I’ve thought I completely fucked it up because I had a plan to do something and I was only able to accomplish 5% of what I wanted. And then others share that they were only expecting 1% or something like that. Imposter syndrome is real, but I also have to be careful with attributing to imposter syndrome what is actually sucking. I have an area of expertise that I want to keep growing and I need to find ways to get constant checks to see how I’m doing otherwise I’ll just worry and wonder forever. It also helps that I’ve had similar experiences to this story where people I really respected and thought knew everything shared their weaknesses and revealed others that they felt the same about. It’s comforting how much in common people have.
