Am I suffering from imposter syndrome?

Am I suffering from imposter syndrome?

By LeftFooted | LeftFooted's Antics | 14 Nov 2025


If I look at it calmly, and coldly (is that even a word), there's a lot I can be proud of.


I don't want to give too many details but the bottom line my job isn't really a job, it's fun. And i earned my way into it with no help, no background in the field, and I've done it a second language.


There's also something else I can be proud of, but that's more personal so I'll gloss over it.


The bottom line, sometimes I feel like 'it's too good to be true'.


Is that imposter syndrome?


I don't think so. But maybe it might be.


Apparently, if you suffer from imposter syndrome you feel like you have to perform at 100 percent of your abilities, 100 percent of the time. Check.


You feel like you don't belong. Check.


You feel like sooner or later you'll get found out like, 'this guy's an idiot'. Check.


 "Imposter syndrome is described as a feeling of inadequacy that persists despite evidence of success". Check.


Maybe I'm just overthinking. Probably because I've been drinking a lot less recently. Maybe I should change that. Kidding.
