Hear me out, What if you imposter syndrome the imposter syndrome.

“Comparison is the thief of joy”. I’m not sure who said that but they’re way smarter than I am

You're just saying that to make me feel better.

If there's one thing I'm confident about myself, it's my lack of self-confidence. 🙃

Those who humbly question their abilities often outperform those who believe they’re flawless—because self-awareness drives growth, while arrogance resists it. Believe in yourself even if you have to figure things out as you go. Don’t forget to do your research and be prepared for anything!

😭

This is why I never want to stop using drugs. I couldn’t handle coming down.

The good thing about imposter syndrome is that usually, if you think you aren't, you truly are.

that's how an imposter would talk....

No, don't repeat the thoughts in my head.

Shit, is my impostor syndrome good enough? 😱 Maybe I should ask on Reddit. They'll sort me out.

Damn. I bet their imposter syndrome is like...so cool and confident and much smarter than mine.

Me: I don't have Imposter Syndrome! Also me:

FUCK

me and a friend flipped the script in our brains, instead of imposter syndrome being bad it felt like we were two goblins in a trenchcoat who infiltrated a Professional Space™ and now we're infesting it with Being Nice

The foxes are on bsky! @foxes-in-love.bsky.social

Imposter Im poster I'm poster You appear to be a poster so you have the same level of posting as others.

I started with IRC when we got internet. I quickly turned to MSN. Then came ICQ, AOL, Yahoo. To keep an overview, I got Trillian, and later Pidgin. When smartphones came around, I got into WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, and then Signal. Let's face it, I'm an IM poster.

The ghost of AIM lives on.

I feel this so hard

I wanted to join an imposter syndrome support group, but I just didn't feel I belonged.

Better than my Im-posture Syndrome. It hurts to stand straight.

I felt this

Okay this one was good. 👍

I would tell you but I'll feel wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️

Imposter Syndrome^2

Still think that's a dumb name for it.

Okay, this is kinda a joke, but I noticed it's been 6 months since I uploaded my last Youtube video and I feel like quite a failure, it's genuinely difficult not to let those kinda thoughts creep in.

I feel ya. Been meaning to make the last video in a series since 2021.

<3

It’s impossible to compare yourself to the times your peers spend NOT posting. How would you even notice?

feeling this. i havent been streaming for weeks and definitely feel undeserving. its hard out here

Whenever a YouTuber I like takes a while to upload a new video, all I think when they return is "Oh hell yeah, more content from XYZ, I missed them and this is an awesome surprise" 🔥💕

it's true, it's a delight

Take the inspiration as it comes, four months passed between my last two videos but I got there Life gets in the way sometimes but you still gotta live it

Oh look, be nice to Casey day came early. Thanks to your recommendations i got to play pipistrello, steam world dig ( 1 ... immediately followed by 2) and loved all of them! (I didn't click with iconoclasts :/ ) you sold me on a few more games too. Thanks for your recommendations and work.

Oh thank you so much! 😌

It takes the time it takes. Higher standards mean more time and attention. Especially if you're doing it yourself.

A lot of my favorite video creators only upload a couple times a year maximum and sometimes not even that often. People will wait, it takes as long as it takes and that’s that.

I havent streamed in like 2 months due to a lot of the everything going on and personal mental health issues, totally relate with the feeling, hope it fades/you're able to right yourself through it though homie :> <3

There’s always somebody more talented, more successful, more determined than you — even at being a phony.

oof

Yeah every time people talk about having imposter syndrome I wanna commiserate w them about it but then realize they probably have it and I’m just having a bad day.

By better, do you mean it's nicer? 🫠

What if it’s just everyone playing imposter syndrome chicken?

The therapist: "Why do you think you have imposter syndrome? Me: *mimic*

If they're actually imposters in that sense, does that make the syndrome better or worse?

Feeling this, but not as much as others.

Me for example. But I have have now become what I was always pretending to be....

No babe, you're the phoniest 🫶🏻

You aren’t a real imposter. You aren’t even sus

Good one!

I worked for a guy who had imposter syndrome (he was definitely underqualified for his position) and he also suffered from anxiety. That compelled him to micro-manage. It was 8 years of hell.

Epic

Can I make a shirt with it? 😂

Erm, sure?

Yeah, I do.

my fave is "i'm not even important or successful enough to have imposter syndrome, i'm such an imposter syndrome imposter"

Everyone in the current administration.

I don't even have imposter syndrome. I gave it a recursive loop of self doubt and it destroyed itself

Mine is definitely better/worse than yours. Honestly I have no business even replying to your comment 😆

You're over here playing 4d imposter chess while I'm stuck on imposter tictactoe and eating stalemates for breakfast 🥲

🙃

-WHEEZE- Why does that feel like it makes sense tho

Imposter syndrome with delusions of grandeur

I’m not worthy to have imposter syndrome.

If your doppelganger has imposter syndrome do you call that genuine syndrome

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

That's just your imposter syndrome imposter syndrome

This healed me

Ouch.

Imposter Syndrome:

I am not experienced enough to reply here, lucky to just have the button tbh

This hurts me in so many ways I'd call it multifaceted. Like I'm being called out and comforted at the same time!

“Any (imposter syndrome) you can do, I can do better.” I’ll see myself out and try to destroy that ear worm.

I went and got a Ph.D. because I was an imposter designing a college writing program with an MA. Now I’m an imposter designing a writing program with a Ph.D.

well, there's a shitload of it in the senate right now.

CASEY....
