- Explore the psychology behind imposter syndrome, and get tips on how you can combat feelings of doubt in your accomplishments.
--
Even after writing eleven books and winning several awards, Maya Angelou couldn’t escape the doubt that she hadn’t earned her accomplishments. This feeling of fraudulence is extremely common. Why can’t so many of us shake feelings that our ideas and skills aren’t worthy of others’ attention? Elizabeth Cox describes the psychology behind the imposter syndrome, and what you can do to combat it.

Same here, but that's more of a low self esteem thing than the actual syndrome
I disagree. I think i´ve been in the same circumstance as both of you guys and, and least in my case, I felt bad/guilty about getting great grades with ease as compared to my classmates. It is a pretty natural human characteristic to try to seek comfort and understanding and, as habib g well points out, it just made me sound like an arrogant sod i suppose. I don't have a low self-esteem and I don't think I have a big ego either.
Same, I keep deafting comments and then deleting them because I chicken out.
@@rubengivoni6823 yeah I agree
OMG so TRUE!!!! And you feel lonelier bc who are you supposed to share this with who will 1) understand and 2) not judge.
Like I recently messed up an exam so badly and I got the highest marks in class and I CANNOT make sense of it. The teacher is nice but she was very strict with every one else's grades and they all hate her for it, my paper was okay but it was not as good as the grade I got and I'm just confused. She is not biased towards me so if she gave me good marks it must be because I deserve them, the logic makes sense. But somehow I really don't feel like I do. All I see are all the things I did wrong and she should have deducted marks because of them 😑

As someone who wasn't a gifted kid, but still was praised for being a "smart kid," I felt this way a lot in elementary and I still feel this way sometimes to this day
Interesting… I was a super gifted kid, but *berated* all the time when I wasn’t the absolute best at something. So I developed this self image that I’m inherently lazy and never do my best, and since then I can’t stop mentally rejecting any kind of praise.
There’s simply too much pressure on all kinds of students regarding school performance.
Weird how much I needed to hear this without knowing it.

Came to read someone commenting this 😂😂
I immedeately scrolled down expecting to see this.
same here
Hey I saw Blue vented
During my undergrad last year, I had a 20-page essay assignment that I completed from start to finish in 3 days. Although I knew what I wanted to write about, I wasn’t very knowledgeable about the topic and started doing my research and brainstorming 3 days before it was due. I completed the first draft 12 hours before the deadline and edited the paper during that last 12 hours. I submitted it with five minutes to spare. Two hours later, I received a feedback from my professor that he was going to nominate my paper to represent my university at an international essay competition for the upcoming year. I felt like a fraud and didn’t think I deserved that privilege. I thought my paper could’ve been a lot better. Fast forward 9 months, I got an email from my professor saying that I placed first on that competition and that my paper will be published on one of the hardest journals to get into within my field. I was shocked. I didn’t know how to react. I felt something, but I knew it wasn’t happiness.
Btw, I didn’t procrastinate. I was working at the same time and didn’t have enough energy/time most of the time. I remember even bringing my reference books at work so I can write while I’m on break. 😭
@@PTunnelly First of all, great job!
Second of all, I'm really sorry that you had to overexert yourself, and did I mention that your accomplishment was spectacular?
That's fantastic!! It doesnt matter how you achieved it the point is you did. If you did it any other way maybe you wouldnt have got the same result, so although you may have felt it needed more time, it was clearly more than enough. Well done!!! dont worry about the methodology the end result is always the most important. Also you put in a lot of effort to do in such a short amount of time and must have been very organised go achieve that despite lack of time. also remember sometimes scientists accidentally discover things as they are working and still get credit. this wasnt even an accident just took you less than you thought so you can definitely take the credit.

ENOUGH AMONG US JOKES!!
Honestly feel like crying because I walk into work everyday fearing that someone will notice that I'm not as good at my job. I fear that I'm not good enough even though I'm told otherwise. I shy away from positions of responsibility because I don't want to be more of a failure than I think I am. I can't even accept compliments and think that people are lying to me. Even worse, I'm paranoid that people talk about me behind my back. I look forward to the end of the day because all this pressure disappears. Then it's back to square one in the morning.
Update: I have to work because I need to make a living. If work wasn't an option I wouldn't be doing it. I just want to be able to do my own thing, at my own pace without stressing about having to impress anyone.
My husband is the same, even though he's one of the smartest people I know and great at his job. I try to convince him but he tells me I don't actually know because I don't work with him and that I'm biased because I want to believe it. It's so hard to convince people not to underestimate themselves. And to be honest, I say these things to him, but I'm guilty of it myself (he's much smarter than I am though - I realize how "imposter syndromey" that sounds lol, but it's true).
P.S. Your profile picture is beautiful
Wow, you just described my life... Just know you're not alone sis ❤️
monkiram thank you, I was having a bad hair day.
Now, I finally found a way to Describe my feelings to my job search coordinator. I have quit jobs because of this. I have let it rule me in every job n every pursuit of college n certificates I received. I’ve always had As in college and I tried a Certified Medical Coding coarse. I passed the coarse w flying colors and the online Tests but kept failing the exams that give you credentials to move on to continue to get expetience and eventually a career not just a job. Which is what I was aiming for. I should mention I have completely unpredictable bipolar disorder and severe General Anxiety Disorder. Every time I think I’m almost there I have a break down. I’m sick of trying. 😔💕✌️
That's me at school but I was more miserable because of my depression and people were saying horrible things about me behind my back.

I think imposter syndrome might also come from seeing yourself struggle with tasks others seemingly don't have any issues with. Like, you're there every time you fail (obviously) but you might only hear from other people when they achieve something, so when they give you praise for being smart or talented, you might feel like you don't deserve it because of all the moments of self-doubt you had along the way.
Sometimes it’s the opposite. I would feel like I don’t deserve my accomplishments because I didn’t struggle the way others did.
yes i feel strongly that way but i have aspbergers
@@MysticOceanDollies Exactly this. Other students are constantly talking about how hard the papers or tests are at school; I'm sitting here like, what did I do wrong? I clearly didnt understand it, because I find it so easy...
IngeC BINGO
That’s exactly how I feel like. Some people will say “you’re just smart”, but it doesn’t feel that way.
Same, if you feel like you did it without much effort, you’ll feel like a fraud that cheated his way trough. Like you “cracked” the code or “hacked” the game.

When the syndrome is acting like a sussy baka 😳🤭
I think an imposter syndrome would be very common in our generation. Since we are seen as a generation who gets everything in life easy or easier than our parents did at their age. Even though we are working just as hard, we will feel like we don't deserve it.
Manya Goyal on top of that, we often don’t see results at the same point in our own lives as our parents did (the usual benchmark for this kind of self assessment), thus leading us to believe we are “behind” and/or “not trying hard enough.” It doesn’t help when one’s parents say such things to our faces. You all know the story: “when I was your age, I already had a successful career, a house, and raising you and your sister...” 😒
EDIT: “YES, Dad, I know, but you didn’t have to get two more degrees and get into massive debt just to get that same job like I have to do now” 😞
@@SerDerpish and the funny thing is that the "harder" times were in a way easier than today. The level of knowledge one must have to live in the modern world together with how the globalization changed things is a whole diferent situation than last century. Now-a-days having a simple paying job, a family and a house is not the only goal of life anymore.
Harder even.
Boomers are spoiled and are claiming the honor their grandparents need. Their grandparents actually did a lot of things right and because of that boomers are lazy and spoiled.
I think both sides have had their own struggles in different ways, so it’s not really fair to say one or the other had it harder.
In our high school, we had a girl who was always the best in class but would always say that she is going to fail and that she did bad on the test, that she knows nothing. And we all kinda just figured that she is looking for support and compassion from others (and that she is totally faking it). Probably she just had the imposter syndrome paired with some low self-esteem.
Same.At some point it gets irritating when they're complaining about not getting full marks when others are worried about failing.Compare your grades to your peers and be honest about your abilities.
Sounds like she was paranoid and under a lot of stress.
Her parents were probably pressuring her to be the very top at everything. She worked hard, but having parents that tell you it's not enough can really stress kids out.
PaintedBB It could have been her parents but not necessarily. I can say that my case is quite similar to the girl above and my parents never pushed me to study more or work harder. Quite the opposite, they sometimes tell me to slow down and relax a bit. I think that I am the one who constantly tries to aim higher, maybe because I have an older sister and I want to be better than her.
This is so me honestly..I had 43/50 and murmurred I failed while my classmates got 30+. But since I am aware of it now, I can do better to not feel guilty and that accept things how it is. :) It can also be linked to perfectionism, which I was, but I am slowly overcoming it.

I think many times people feel like they have not earned there accomplishments because they see other people who look like they work just as hard or harder but never received half the achievements as they have. What people need to realize is that we are all responsible for our own lives and results and we shouldn't feel guilty for our own success that we worked hard for.
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS bro i found u on bright side video as well
See that’s the problem we are not always evaluated based on our merits alone, a host of other factors play their roles too, and these are the precise reasons for the feeling of unworthiness
that just resonates with me!
Personally, if I actually found a reason to legitimately judge people who received as much appreciation as me or less, I still -may- think that they didn’t “earn it” but usually I don’t do that because I see that they worked harder and I don’t expect much from other people anyway. It is not about how much hard work you put into things but it is more of how much of this hard work is actually worth appreciating and recognition.
They also see people who never seem to work, or put forth any effort, have greater success. The entire upper management of my organization is made up of people who seem to be good at self-promotion, and nothing else.
I completely relate to 2:47, about the hesitance of sharing great ideas because of the feeling of incompetency. English is my second language, after years of learning experience in Australia/US, I now have a neutral-US-Australian accent. But during my college years, I always felt like I was faking my fluency. I used to share all my ideas during group discussions but seldom spoke out to the entire class, until one time a group member looked at me amazed, and asked me if I'd mind speak for the group. I was shocked and flattered, because I was the only person in the class who's not a native English speaker. And this person, Rachel, was someone I admired and aspired to be, because she was intelligent, eloquent and kind. I felt so excited and raised my hand instantly. That changed my life, no one saw me as a "fake" and people listened, they even referenced my points in their arguments. I was respected, validated and appreciated as a "group member", not an outsider, a foreigner, a "fake". Thanks to this cohort of people, I had the courage to speak out more and face rejections (much less than expected), and earned a place in one of the best university in the world.
Rachel, I think you've forgotten me entirely bc we're only classmates for one course, but I'm forever thankful for your kindness and encouragement, that meant a world to me.
As a young person experiencing this, I'm so relieved it's not just me. I experience imposter syndrome with my art, and feeling as though I'm not skilled enough for it is really soul crushing to me because i know i have capabilities and yet I'm still scared of the dissapointments. Reading these comments made me feel a little bit better ❤
So this is basically the opposite of the Dunning-Krueger effect? Humans are weird. People who don’t have any real competence think they are better than everyone and those who actually deserve their acknowledgement think they don’t deserve it.
What about people that don't belong to either group, the people who don't care what other people do and achieve, don't care about acknowledgements/awards bestowed by other people upon them, and only cares about whether he/she did the best he/she can in any endeavor?
that's not the opposite at all
That's why humans are interesting to ponder on. 😃
I was thinking the exact same thing
@@jonirojonironin5353 thats probably what the end of this video is about. O dont usually care, and o ly bother about giving my best, but before that i used to worry a lot too.
Saying that you "dont care" is actually saying you have come to terms with w.e. sotuation you are in. My mother is sick with lupus and spends most of the time in the hospital, yet i have come to terms with the situation, im not gonna cry all the time and in front of everyone, but im not gonna use her sickness tonget everyone to pity me and be nice towards me. To some it seems like i "dont care," but i DO care, its only that i realized that i need to come to terms with this. And the only way i found out how, is through Jesus Christ.
A complete stranger told me that I have imposter syndrome. How powerful. I self-sabotage myself the more successful I am. I have never understood it until now.

i did SUSpect it!
I am a college senior and soon-to-graduate with a pretty high gpa. At the same time, I do think that these grades don’t mean nothing - getting good grades is just a matter of understanding the system, especially here in the U.S. it’s rather easy. I might get a 90 on a test and not remember anything the next week, not even talking about all 4 years of college. Which is why I doubt myself - somehow, I am able to pass these little tests and challenges, but on a long term basis I don’t actually learn. Which is why I doubt my skills and knowledge.

Dude, that's because HOW you study. You should internalize the difference between studying to gather Information and studying to learn information.
Your case isn't atypical. When you study to remember compared to studying to learn you start to doubt yourself.
I'm just attaching my comment here, because the response is gonna get really long and therefore has to be edited it later on with my actual story, on how it did affect me in my teenage, severely. Just stay calm, it'll be alright.
Same, you really articulated how I feel. But the truth is, everyone forgets, and it's easier to relearn something once you've already learned it at some point
amogus
Einstein thought he was inadequate. And we have reality stars who think they're brilliant because they've been on TV. I can't explain how that makes sense.
The mind works in mysterious ways
there is something called dunning-kruger effect that explains this phenomenon
The ways of heart can't be explained. Same goes for the mind.
The dunning Kruger effect. The more confidence someone has in their intelligence and ability on something and feel superior to others, the less they actually know.
Now the imposter syndrome is gone complex because someone coming in and out on the vents and it is difficult to combat it since 2020.

@@sparkle0859 Same. Because its delivered by a robotic calm voice - generating to a broad audience. It doesnt mean any of us are unique, and its cringy to think of that as a positive message with meaning. Rather than telling us, a genuine sentiment would be to send viewers to search for that meaning in their own lives.
Saying "you have talent. you are capable. you belong." Is artificial. People who might not struggle with it as severely might get a positive boost from it... and feel a brief relief. but to an audience of people struggling with imposter syndrome, is just fuel to a fire and an insult.
haha you are sussy
Basically it sounds like: some people are soooo good at stuff that it all seems easy to them. So easy that they believe everyone can do it. But everyone tells them that it’s profound, then they believe that profound things are easy, meaning that everyone is profoundly special. And this gives them imposter syndrome and there’s a different related thing, it relates to Syndrome. Syndrome’s philosophy is being demonstrated here in that, when everyone is profoundly special...no one is. Well, that’s the feeling from these special people anyway. Simply put, ‘I’m special, special is easy, everyone is special, therefore I’m not special.’
That's a great way of putting it!
Yo, thats not the way they think, mate

Many of my friends and family think I am smart. I also think I am smart. But I don't really work hard. I tend to find my way around things and often stand with people who have really worked for that spot. I think it's kind of unfair. Idk.
Too true. But I think the best thing to do is to just try and put your amazing talent to good use. If you do that, then you definitely deserve it
Be greatfull that you're gifted, but if you do nothing with that intelligence the hardworking people one day will surpass you.
Akhil Singh Khyalia *then you are a DOOFUS*
Doesn't what you're saying mean you are smart enough to cheat systems and find more efficient ways to accomplish what you're after? That's an intelligence and gift all on its own. I think as long as you're honest about that, you're alright.
I am the same as you. I don't doubt my intelligence (most of the time), but I constantly feel like an imposter because I feel like everybody works harder than me and I always feel guilty if I do well at anything. And when I don't do well, I feel like I deserve it and I feel like I can't even be sad about it because it's my own fault and it makes me feel even more like an imposter.

I have no words to describe how life-changing it was to watch this at this exact moment in my life. With tears in my eyes and heartfelt gratitude, I would like to say thank you to TED-Ed for this.
I could relate to your story. I recently moved to a European country for a job after passing more that 5 technical interviews (I work in software). Even after I moved to this company (where the company paid for my air ticket, visa application fees, an entire month for my hotel at the new location ....) I always assumed that I'm here because all those interviews were very easy which could have been passed by almost anybody and I assumed somewhere someone made the mistake to relocate me here. Because of these thoughts, I was really felling miserable as I always feared that one day they'll come to my desk and tell me that they made mistake and I'm here by some glitch. But now I realize that's not the case, I'm here because "I got talent, I am capable and I belong". I hope everyone sees this video and get reliefs
i cant stop thinking about it
when i see the word "impostor"
i cant think of anything else

Well I thought I just had low self-esteem but it turns out that I am suffering from Imposter syndrome. Because I know I am not depressed but I have so many insecurities. Thanks ted ed it really helped
I just got off work where I feel like an imposter - thank you for this video. This helps a lot for people like me.
Thank you, Varizza!

in march, I was accepted into this honors program that gave me a full 4 year scholarship for the college I'm going to. while my family and friends were proud of me, I later had these same feelings of fraudulence. I felt that I didnt really deserve it bcs there are probably numerous people out there with more accomplishments than I did, and I often downplayed my intelligence. I also thought that I wouldnt be able to handle the work that this honors program would give me. although I still struggle with "imposter syndrome", it's nice to know that its common to have these feelings.
Thankfully I havn't accomplished anything to feel like an imposter
Ah the imposter who isn't killing anyone in the first round, so he wouln't be sus!
I'm crying like a little kid right now. I didn't understand what imposter syndrome meant until just now. I feel so validated. I feel so much less alone. I'm so glad I'm not abnormal and that it's common and it's okay. Thank you for making this.

I’ve never really understood imposter syndrome until now thank u so much it really made me feel more welcomed and less lonely more capable and less parasitical, and most of all worthy, and that whatever happens in ur mind it doesn’t apply to tour identity.
I'm in tears. I've been in therapy for several months and between this video and her, I'm finally feel like I'm getting to the core of how I've been feeling for years
I needed to hear this so much today. I scored 96% in my 10th grade and I felt like I didn’t deserve it. My family was overjoyed but I was anxious. This lead to me developing a sort of clinical depression and the feeling that someone will find out I’m not good enough. And a bit of anxiety made me score less marks in higher classes that my dreams were shattered.
I’m recovering from depression now and this video was a game changer. Thank you so much for posting this.
I relate so much ..
96% and family overjoyed ? Damn here family will not even be joyed if i dont get 100%

I got a B in uni and I was already soo happy. Getting an A will probably make my whole year. I didn’t know there are people who got an A and still unhappy. My heart goes out to you.
Perception is everything. And good job on the B 💪
when I got a full scholarship to USC I thought I wasn't good enough, I thought I could not make it because everyone else was so much better then me, when I succeeded and finished my semester I still felt like I was not good enough because I had not suffer what someone else was going through, I wanted to be better then every other person out there but that was not good enough. When you want more and more greed becomes a horrible thing, it's like an addiction, you want to do better each and everytime, it is never the same. For me "success" "goals" "achievements" they're like drug, you just want more and more and more until it's just not the same anymore. You are never fully satisfied or content and you began to live a life of misery and self doubt asking yourself did I really deserve it? my time, my devotion, all those hours spend alone, the amount of time I gave up to be here is it really all worth it? and the answer is no. Because I need something more, self acceptance. Being able to feel proud of who you are and the obstacles you face is what's important. Not how far or how little you moved in your goals. You cannot compare your life to someone else's because we all have different goals and handle disappointment differently, we all come from different places and backgrounds. I was homeless the entire time I was in highschool and middle school and yet I was able to earn a scholarship to a private University. And to me that meant nothing if I could not eat or help my single mother get us out of that situation. I was an straight A student and yet I felt I was less then everyone else simply for being of hispanic decent. Money, school is not everything in life. At least I don't think it is. The people I have in my life are what matter to me the most and that's what brings me joy :)

This is the first time I feel like the subject of Imposter Syndrome was actually explained in a manner that I could understand.
I initially thought that it meant that someone felt like they were a phony/fake for no apparent reason or because the person was intentionally trying to be something they knew they weren't.
I didn't think that it was because they didn't feel worthy of accomplishments that they actually achieved in a legitimate manner...
In that case, it's a confidence issue and it's also important to keep in mind that people are usually their own worst critic and that the world's games can sometimes be a little bit too easy...
That's why it's important to challenge yourself and earn your own respect...
Before : So for anyone with imposter syndrome I have gratitude............

I'm an incoming third year in Civil Engineering and I still can't convince myself how I ended up or got in this level knowing that I still don't have the skills and knowledge that I'm supposed to be having in my academic level.

Thanks TED-Ed for sharing this informative and insightful video ❤❤.... Loved the presentation/animations too !!!
Talking about it doesnt help >> It just makes me sound whiney and needy to my friends. They'll think im seeking attention.
So true :( Everyone tells me I should stop complaining..
Which is why I avoid talking to ppl when I'm at hard place. 🙂
No they won't. If they do, talk about it to someone else, maybe a therapist? Talking about it is hard, but it'll help you get help. I hope someone is checking up on you. You're going to get through this.
This might sound harsh but... you might need to have new friends. Unless, you're only thinking about that and they actually care.
I told my friends that I got the highest mark in college cause I hacked the system, it made me feel better, although at exam days I told them I missed up bad and got the highest mark they didn't say anything against me, I am not really sure if I got the highest mark cause I hacked the system or because I deserved it, or just by luck, I don't really think I deserved it, but this year I am proactivly working on hacking the system (making professors think I am smart so they raise my marks if I didn't do well at some test)
I've had similar experiences where I've felt like I was an "imposter" in an advanced level class and felt like I was basically just in a "fake it till you make it" like situation. I really don't think of myself as smart or over other people and I feel as if I am faking my intelligence in the class. But now that I think about it, I'm not truly an imposter if I'm doing well in the class. Maybe it's right for me. Idk it's hard to explain.
Just do the best that you possibly can, and let your results speak for themselves
Just say “red sus” it works every time
Same for me. Everything changed when i got into a grammar school and everyone bullied me for being behind there when in my old school i would be top of my class in everything..i feel like im lying to myself if i say im smart. Im starting to rely on pills..

I can completely relate to having feelings of imposter syndrome. When I tried out for a softball team I thought I did horrible and when they told me I made the team I believed it was a mistake. I felt guilty and that I didn't belong. But now I realize I'm better than I think I am and I have grown to love myself.
that's amazing! :)

I have this in Uni especially because I have dyslexia. But learning more about my condition and that others have anxiety too helped for sure.
The person/people who animated all of this deserves massive love! Plus the explanation along with the visuals really make all of this feel genuine.
Every time people said I'm good at something I said or thought how they couldn't possibly know and that everyone could have done at least as good.
I nearly always try to hide my accomplishments because I don't want to raise any of their expectations in me, because I'm certain that it was just luck and I wouldn't be able to do it again.
I don't know you but I know EXACTLY how you feel
Yeah. I guess v need to learn to let things go and relax.
Yes, I can absolutely feel you.

The school where I did my Masters was really competitive so there was no talking about this. But I was having major issues with imposter syndrome but didn’t even know what it was. I finally told the only nice PI how I felt. She had been in research for 30 years, had awards, and was internationally recognized as a researcher. She told me, “I think it’s weird if you don’t feel that way. I still do.”. That really put imposter syndrome into perspective for me and made me realize I wasn’t alone.
I'm part of my country's math olympiad team and I just sit at home and watch anime all day. Everyone else in the team studies for 10 hours up a day, I'd say it would be abnormal not to have imposter syndrome in my situation

I don't think these ideas are unfounded. Many discoveries of people like Einstein were built on previous work. I'm sure Einstein felt he only made a small step; it might have actually been a very difficult step mind you, but he was "standing on the shoulders of giants". I don't think the issue would be that we have these kinds of thoughts, bit more that we take them too far. We go down the rabbit hole of feeling undeserving of praise until it spins out of proportion. A little doubt can be put towards improving yourself, and I would consider healthy, but when we let these feelings get out of hand, that's where the problem lies. Maybe that's a faulty way of thinking, but that's how I see it!
I don't believe there is a single work today that isn't build off the foundations of those before us. Doubt is not healthy in my opinion but criticism can be. Doubt implies that one simply refused to identify the issue or dilemma in success, but rather, they just deny success to be possible. Criticism simply analyzes any given subject and seeks to improve it or provide insight.
Do bake a cake form scratch you first have to create the universe ... The observation that Einstein wasn't the first physicist means nothing in this context.
I had a similar experience on this. The anxiety made kept me from getting my graduation photos from elementary to my bachelor's. I always had this thoughts creeping at the back of my head that I don't deserve any kind of recognition despite everyone I know telling me how smart and clever I am. It's a problem and a hindrance.
