Ayupper.
Lynn Wooldridge says
ugh I hate that this is me. I had a colleague tell me that if she was a principal, she’d hire me in a heartbeat… and I thought “she’s just being nice and trying to make me feel good.”

yay, low self-esteem… 🙁

I did not know that Impostor Syndrome was a thing until this comic. Always interesting to put a name and research to the condition.

And still, I cannot bring myself to think differently about my achievements…

Erin Curtice says
I’ve never heard of it either, Dillon. It’s something I’ve done all my life, though.

Truly amazing, I never knew this was “a thing” til reading this comic and the above Wikipedia link. Which says that treatment is to recognize that it’s going on? I’ve identified with a lot of things in this comic, but this one I might actually be able to fix. Thanks!
Janet Benn says
This is amazing. This is a key to so much self-sabotage in my life. Thank you. I am 64 – anyone reading this, learn to accept yourself. I still struggle, depending on the day and my circumstances, yet I have accomplished much. My favorite quote, from Samuel Beckett: “You must go on, I can’t go on, I’ll go on.” Do.
Isabella Reed says
Ow.
