Happy #WorldGothDay from your friendly local imposter who is really more of a metalhead, but occasionally haunts your clubs because the music's better for dancing 🦇✨

Idea: support group for people who want to get more active together but aren't Intense about it or want to run marathons and shit because our childhood traumas made us very conflict avoidant

No matter what I achieve, I always have the feeling that "I've tricked them again"... Imposter syndrome at its best - I don't give up though. #worklife #reflection #ImposterSyndrome

Being steeped in commericials at some point in my life, and then getting periodic breaks, always surprises me. I forget how powerful they are. Unless we watch them with cynical eyes, and the truth is revealed.

I kept doing things I was told was good for me, and even if they aren’t lying it might not be right for me.

I should have the choice to decide, but they are trying to implant the messages that are designed to make us doubt ourselves. That we're supposed to BE this or that. Perform the role, and you'll be a real person then!

To do what they say instead of figuring it out for ourselves.

If we were punished constantly for trying to do that… maybe there’s our problem. I think the answer is to recognize, and consciously reject, the message.

Then we see what lies we still tell ourselves. Maybe get rid of something. My imposter syndrome weakens every time I realize what prompts the current anxiety.

Am I feeling guilty for not doing something I don't want to do anyway?

Like rain after drought. Thoughts blooming in my brain. It must have freed something 🤣

As so many of us do, I struggle a lot with #ImposterSyndrome. It's one of the many things I work on in #therapy and bit by bit it's slowly getting better. I think? Maybe?

Either way, in my latest #BlogPost I wrote about my own experience with it, hoping that by reading it, others will feel less alone with their experience of it.

@stephenczetty @ScribblingOn @actuallyautistic in my head I feel I need to tell the story of how we got to the decision. Some of it is probably connected to #ImposterSyndrome, and a general lack of confidence that comes with not feeling I fit in to any social group as well as the other people in those groups.

Combine that with some associated hearing weirdness (can’t remember the acronym) and I feel I need to justify myself before I’ve even started.

Oh, and I generally use too many words too.

Every time I try to answer a question I go in to my answer thinking get to the point but often lose my train of thought and get distracted by three or four connected ideas that pop in while I’m speaking and before I ever get there.

I’d love to start with the point (and so would everyone I talk to —my family most of all!) 😂

The more I learn about autism and other autists' experiences, the more I feel like I'm just pretending. Learning a skin to hide being a tool behind. Donning a mask of autistic-ness.

Seriously, how absurd is that?! 🤣

Suck a toe, imposter.

Hello World!
Thanks for having me :)
I struggle with #ImposterSyndrome syndrome and have often wondered if I am not #neurodivergent as I can sometimes barely function in my work.
I am glad to be here and to hear your stories. Thanks so much for sharing.🖖
