Imposter Syndrome
Thought this article was interesting. I do not think that I have felt this way but I do appreciate the honest writing that describes the pressures and anxieties that do exist.
Thanks Ife. The first thing I thought was that he was being "woe is me," then he wrote "The preceding is not meant in a "woe is me" kind of way, though it may unavoidably read that way"
I feel where he is coming from, not the same way, but I feel him. I have had no papers published, and no external achievements at this point, but I do worry about school and instead of going into despair worry I try to take the liberating approach. Kinda like I don't know what I don't know until I know.>:O
I like the voice he wrote with. I'm not surprised he wrote under a pseudonym.
