And I want you to know that the more competent that you are, the more likely you are to experience it, and that is the imposter syndrome. I'm talking about that deep, quiet, psychological version of the imposter syndrome, the one that shows up when you're actually doing well, or you're trying to push yourself to step into something new, or you're getting new opportunities, or people are actually starting to respect you, or maybe you got a promotion. And there's still that voice in the back of your head that says, "Yeah, but they don't really know who I am yet," or, you know, "Wait till they find out that I'm not good enough to actually be here." So let's talk about what the imposter syndrome actually is in this situation. I wanna define it properly for you. The imposter syndrome is not a lack of confidence. That's what most people think that it is. They think it's a lack of confidence within themself.
