I've made the point before that people tend to handle imposter syndrome in one of two ways.

Either acknowledge that they are not yet 'there' and are still a work in progress.

OR, bluff and bluster and pretend to be already 'there' - the "fake it till you make it" approach.

The lie behind imposter syndrome is that unless you are 'there' and have 'arrived' you are not worth listening to.

In my view, the latter option is basically succumbing to lie of imposter syndrome and opting to BE an imposter.

The honest approach is to stare imposter syndrome in the face and declare it to be a lie.

I am thankful to read your post as it confirms that you are not an imposter.
