UNDERSTANDING IMPOSTER SYNDROME

Imposter Syndrome Statistics

Studies indicate that approximately 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. This figure is consistent across various countries and cultures, suggesting a widespread nature of the phenomenon.

What Is Imposter Syndrome?

Impostor syndrome is when you doubt your achievements and fear being exposed as a fraud, despite evidence of your success. It affects everyone—regardless of gender or career stage—and is often rooted in perfectionism, fear of failure, or low self-confidence.

Impact on Different Areas of Life

• Academics and Work: You may experience anxiety, fear of failure, and a constant need for validation, which can hinder your growth and opportunities.
• Personal Relationships: You might worry that your partner will discover you’re not as capable as you seem, leading to insecurity and difficulty in building trust.

As a life coach, I encourage you to recognize these feelings and understand that your worth is not defined by the PERCEPTION of your limitations. Embrace your accomplishments, seek support, and remember that you are deserving of success and love.
