Changing the language of imposter syndrome
Because calling it imposter syndrome sounds a bit negative But maybe it’s semantic
Imposter Syndrom is when confidence is lower than competence It’s the opposite of Don’t confuse rate vs actual knowledge]
If you have imposter syndrome and your confidence is lower than your competence It draws you to learn more and it leads you to listen to other people
So overcoming imposter syndrome. Is not really your goal
Because you always want to be listening and learning from others It’s a good virtue
Language things
So the paradox is, if you’re the right kind of learner- you’ll always feel like an imposter But that’s not a bad thing
Because it means that if you’re doing things in the right way you’ll always be wanting to learn and you’ll always feel like you don’t know enough
