I feel like RUclips can really exaggerate the chances of feeling imposter syndrome. One, there are a lot a amateurs making videos without formal training and combine that with the explosive potential of the algorithm. At times a video that you would consider marginally better does exponentially better and it can leave the creator feeling they got more views than they deserved. Thanks for sharing your experience surely there’s a lot of people who experience this.
Thank you Kevin for breaking down this “occurrence“. I discovered impostor syndrome a couple years ago. I realized that what I was doing was not helpful for my growth. I never thought about it being anything other than my own internal dialogue, and not knowing that other people were thinking and saying the same things about themselves. I’m not sure how to break the cycle other than getting out there and doing the thing that challenges you and allow people to complement you and recognize that you can do the thing that you think you can’t do. I like your new channel I love epic gardening, so I’ll be back to hear what you have to say. Thanks.
I'm glad you mentioned how important it is to accept the praise with a simple "thank you." This was taught to me years ago by a choir director. Although many people's instinct is to appear humble, If you don't accept the praise given to you, you're actually minimizing or dismissing the other person's opinion.
Your gardening channel is awesome, but this channel is JUST AS AWESOME. Love the down to earth vibes and good advice. (I feel imposter syndrome so much.)
This is such a good video, i hope more people come across this! I didn't even know Kevin had another channel, and only recently RUclips suggested one of the videos to me. Kevin, the videos here are so helpful.
I enjoy watching your content on epic gardening and epic homestead... And am enjoying your content on this channel! You totally deserve everything you have and have been awarded! You put forth great content!
Hi Kevin, the mysterious algorithm served up another of your videos, now I’m binge watching! Just want to say 🙏🏻 Thanks for expressing your thoughts. You are really helping us all out. Funny thing is, I’m an avid gardener, but I have not been gardening since starting my YT channel. 😮 After watching the video of yours -why RUclipsrs are quitting YT, I’m going to your garden channel and then going to find my shovel and some dirt. ❤️ So this is THANKS X2! ❤️
I have loved and followed your content since covid time! Is so refreshing to see this side of knowledge sharing, Thank you for teaching me so much about gardening and now on personal development, so inspired by you!!
I understand this but I would add that when I encounter someone who doesn’t take praise well “sometimes”, my instinct is that the person is capable of self evaluation and insight. In my 58 years those people are way more dependable and trustworthy and much less prone to psychological bias.
Thanks for this! I don’t get this really in my gardening/youtube at this point, but I’ve been hit with this SO many times in my ‘other’ career as a classical pianist.
Kevin, This is totally me! Just yesterday I was feeling that way at work and I chastised myself for my imposter response. Thanks again for this pivot and the videos on this channel! Also, at the risk of ignoring the "why people are getting off of youtube" video, could you tell me what editing software you use? Promise I won't hit you up for any more information; I'll figure the rest out for myself lol.
This is secretly about overcoming Eric right? 😂 great video recently started my gardening channel journey alongside my gaming/entertaining channel! Wondering if you still game at all as yoi said you used to....possibly too much though its great to let loose while the garden does its thing! Love this channel will be binging it! much apprecaite your time

Thank you. Needed to hear this today.

Sometimes being the operable word there
Great video on a tough topic I think we all experience at one point or another! Thanks Kevin! 💚

Hahahah yes, it's about overcoming Eric
In gardening, so many factors out of your control, the few successes are definitely luck. I digress, I'm the best hobby gardener in the world!!!
Hahaha love this
Suuuuuch good info and advice!
Glad it was helpful!
I would love to see you do a video with Dr K of Healthy Gamer
Ooh, you redecorated❤
