    Can we all just pause for a minute and realise that she scored 18 points twice?! For all of you who aren't familiar with the German grading system for Law, a 4 is a pass and most students are really happy when they get like 7-9 points, everything above 10 is considered above average and everything above like 15/16 is extraordinary, often said to be not achievable. Hence scoring 18 points twice, that's kind of like a miracle only that in fact it proves how incredibly smart, intelligent and hard working Elena is!
    Celebrate your success you deserve it, especially taking into consideration that you achieved this grade while studying from home. You rock Elena!

    YOU GO GIRL!! And let me tell you one thing... the fact that you have such a loving and caring mother is monumental to building that confidence you need to do away with impostor syndrome. Im telling you because I have a mother who's completely otherwise and doing away with a mother's hatred is a lot harder than to rid yourself from this syndrome, since the lack of love contributes greatly to that. Worst of all when she allows herself the luxury of belittling you the first time you dont get the highest marks as you used to... smh. I bet you could even claim to be the perfect student and no one would dare question that!!! keep it up Elena!!

    Oh, it's also about me. I received a good mark - it's a luck or I deceived my profesor. I received a bad one - it's proof that I am an imposter. When I am going for job interview I don't know what to say. The truth is that I think they'd better employ someone else, 'cause I'm not the best. When I have this job, I think every day that I took somebody's else place, 'cause I deceived my employer. And so on. It's really difficult to live with this and I haven't even known I have it. If my English has flaws (I'm sure there is a lot of mistakes in my every sentence!) just keep in mind I'm not native and that I'm feel like imposter who pretend she is able to communicate in English. Elena and readers of this comment, have a nice day and be safe x

    I've felt it before too. I've always prided myself on my intelligence. I had some of the highest grades in high school but then I got out into the world and saw how so many people are smarter and doing more with their lives. I felt like I really hadn't achieved much at all. Even before I spent so much time on perfect grades but I didn't have any other talents. I was Intelligent and a writer but that's all. Couldn't do anything athletic, music related, social, etc. So, nobody actually cared except me. It might sound weird but I felt bad because my efforts never seemed to matter. Now that I joined the adult world. I still feel like someone who hasn't done much. Job? Career? Cook dinner? College degree? Where was that stuff for me? What had I actually accomplished in the grand scheme of things? Could I really still think of myself as anyone when everything seemed out of place including myself?
    If I fail or something doesn't go right I can feel it so deep that the tech school instructor who called me "incompetent" comes back into my thoughts 4-5 years later. Nightmares about how I've failed as a member of society are quite common.

    as someone who is very aware and in touch with herself (I never question my exam results because I know how and why I got them), learning that this imposter syndrom is a thing is a huge surprise for me! I always thought it annoying when people start their questions like that („I know this is probably a stupid question, but [...]“) because it gathers unnecessary attention, it kinda distracts from the value of your question and there are hardly ever any stupid questions in a learning enviroment - but seeing now why people say things like that made me a little wiser today. Thank you!

    Everybody knows that they don't know everything. That giving your thoughts always might encounter opposite thoughts. So you take risks. The more risks you take, the more you know about what you do and do not know. Instead of making it a battle of being right/correct, make it a battle how much you can learn from others :)

    Thank you so so much for this video., especially for sharing such vulnerable information. It truly has the potential to change my life (I hope it will) because I tend to do the exact opposite : I believe that my imposter syndrome is right and I give in to it. I don't study more or smarter when the voice in my head tells me I'm bad/unintelligent/useless. Instead, I believe it is right and stop studying or whatever I'm doing, because success would be luck anyways.
    I really hope to be able to adopt your way of thinking and wanting to prove that voice wrong!

    I think I might have this...in my quantum physics class, I had been struggling and was worrying I wasn't good enough, thought I was going to fail blah blah blah, then I got my term 1 mark A 93%! I didn't believe it, I thought there must have been a mistake, how is it possible? I can't get higher than a 70!
    It was so bad I went to my teacher, asked her "is this the right mark? or is this someone else's mark?" she told me I was top of the class...I still don't believe her lol
    I know it's ridiculous but I just can't help it... I had told myself physics was hard, that I hated it, that getting above an 80-85 average is impossible for me so I just assumed that it was impossible...Anyways all that to say thank you for this video, helped me realize I have a bit of a problem that I better start fixing...

    I understand that so much but... the problem that I have is that it is coupled with the fact that I seem to never see things the way my teachers do. When they ask a question, I always think "oh ! the answer might be 'that'", but then they say "no... it is much more obvious but you don't see it". And I feel dumb. I am absolutely incapable of answering when I am asked a question, because I always miss the point (I study History btw). I only look clever when I lead a conversation, because people understand what I want to convey, and I don't have to conform to their expectations of what I should say or not. I am absolutely terrible at getting into anyone's mind (especially teachers) and give them the answer they want. Still, I managed to get pretty good grades and I am even in the top 10% of my prom, but it has certainly more to do with my good writing skills than with my ability to answer the questions effectively. Anyway. Long message for not so much, but I needed to write it somewhere, and since I love this channel, well... here I am.
