The concept of impostor syndrome first began to be mentioned in professional literature in the late 70s of the last century.
This time was enough to thoroughly study this unusual phenomenon.
However, not all people even know that they have this problem.
What are the signs that a person has impostor syndrome?
Difficulty accepting praise
In such a case, a person not only pretends that his efforts are overestimated out of a sense of false modesty, but he really cannot accept praise.
You need to learn to understand a simple fact: if your merits are noted, then you really did something worthy.
Luck
With impostor syndrome, a person does not believe that he has achieved everything thanks to his own strength and skills. He sincerely believes that luck helped him in everything.
False self-confidence
People with impostor syndrome are extremely critical of themselves and are unhappy with even the slightest mistake. However, they try to behave in such a way that no one knows about it.
Therefore, such a person may appear arrogant, pompous and self-confident.
