How many people here believe on this concept of "Nazar"...

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Seeing colleagues getting promoted while your contribution goes unnoticed. Working on projects that none of your peers care about. Figuring out the balance between work and personal life. Regret of ignoring physical health due to work.

There are endless reasons that can trigger the imposter syndrome. How are you guys coping up with this?

How do you guys cope up with the imposter syndrome

Most people suffer from imposter syndrome wherever they go, for the first time at my new workplace - i don't have imposter syndrome. is this a good sign? I always felt if I do have imposter syndrome it means I'm striving for something beyond my means. If I don't feel it, does it mean I can do better?

Imposter syndrome

Analyst

At the risk of sounding weak, this has become more and more rampant with me.

It feels as if I am living someone's elses life.

Somedays I just feel like living a life thats pointless. These are the days when I feel very prone to these emotional impulses of sudden "lonlinesss" (despite having few of the most amazing people in my life) or "emptiness" or "anti-gratitude/self-destruction". So much mental lethargy behing these useless chain of thoughts.

Am I the only one? Have I lost it? Am I sensitive? Is it a bad thing? Am I overworked? Am I too critical about my thoughts? 

Man this is so confounding.

I work as an intern at a startup who pays me a reasonable 20k. Sometimes I feel I am not giving my 100 percent and I feel I am always lacking something. In my college, many of the students are preparing for GATE and hence not interested in doing internships. So they're always busy with either watching movies or making their notes. So when I see other students who are doing internships, I feel a little down. I don't know why. 
Is this what they call 'imposter syndrome' ? How to control those thoughts?

Confusing times . . .

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Started working in a new org two months back as a PM.
while discussing new requirememts with the tech I am always affraid that whatever I am saying is correct or not. As I am not familiar with all the systems.
Sometimes during sprint planning tech will tell me or my manager would say you missed this scenario or this functionality works like this so we may have some issue in approach you are taking.

I feel like everyone is  judging me if I am making any mistake.

No idea how to overcome this , pretty low on confidence now a days and keep on thinking am I good enough ?

Yesterday,when i was about leaving my odc, i was called my manager in the conference room. he discussed about my perfromance and soon, he puts me into the belief of my bad performance , despite knowing numberos of appreciation from customer and time deliverbale, and post disucssion, i moved out and by the time, i reached to the parking area, i was completely into the sense of imposter syndrome.

How to deal with this ?

Does this happen often with you? I can relate to this.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

How do I differentiate between imposter syndrome and not actually fitting my job?

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

I don't know if this post would make sense, but does anyone ever wish they were less? Less competent, less "bright", less "smart"? I'm not being braggy but I am pretty smart (not book smart but smart smart) and while objectively I am doing pretty good, I just constantly feel like I'm not living up to my fullest potential!

Should I be on the lookout for a better job (the present one is fine) or preparing to study more or, I don't know, to scale and scale? It feels like everyone has such high expectations of me and I hate making mistakes, even if it is a typo in a document

The anxiety that I'll never live up to my potential becomes so crippling, it becomes counter productive and like Dr. Strange, I forseen like a 100 different possible outcomes of every decision because I can't seem to turn my brain off! Ignorance is bliss and I so wish I could be ignorant

Does anyone ever wish they were... Less?

How do you deal with feeling like a fraud at work?

I'm convinced I'm going to be exposed as a complete incompetent any day now. Anyone else feel like they're just really good at faking it?

The Imposter Syndrome

The obsession I regret the most in my life is the all or nothing behavior.

Where, 
- I'll apply for a job only after knowing everything there is to know for a role.  This is why I used to see people with half my knowledge applying and getting jobs and moving ahead in life. I used think it's so unfair that they achieve in all aspects of their life and I in none...
- I'll date someone only when I know I am the perfect version that I envision for myself 
- I'll only take photos when I am in my perfect shape. If I don't have 8 abs, I don't deserve photos!
- I'll stop questioning whether I am good enough only when I achieve everything else I am a loser

I just was very cruel to myself for my own imperfections!
This instilled a fear in me that shattered my spirit, self confidence and self worth.  I ended up being afraid to pick anything up. 

If I couldn't stay course in something and for some reason I wasn't able to do something for a day or 2, my perfectionism mindset said, that's it, I am a failure and I thought, nothing can be done now and gave up

This resulted in I procrastinating in things. 
Why to work hard, I am never gonna make it...
I have 100 things to do in life else I am failure but I don't have time to do all that in this lifetime. Perfectionism results in not doing anything!

After meeting people, self introspection and podcasts from people, I realised its okay to mess up, its okay to fall down. I should dust myself off and continue! 
It is so hard now to change yourself after years of disappointment. You need so much positivity and letting go of perfectionism. You need self love and kindness... 

TLDR -
Don't be like an OCD person obsessing over things to go exactly the way they want!
Don't reject yourself due to failures/setbacks. Dust yourself off and move ahead!
It's okay to be imperfect as long as you promise to be consistent!

[Controversial Opinion] Don't chase perfectionism chase consistency. Period!

Off-late dealing with this and not able to collect enough courage to give interviews.

Any tips/suggestion to deal with it ?

How to deal with Imposter Syndrome?

Sometimes I feel that whether I am even eligible for an MBA in a Tier 1 college 

I mean I couldn't clear any exams except 1 with good grades.

Sometimes I feel that I am not eligible for the institution where I am right now.

I doubt myself

I’ve been suffering from this all my life. My confidence has improved over time, but there are times when I still feel this returning.

How do you guys n gals deal with this at work?

Customer Service

There is one guy on my team who handles feedback so poorly that they engage in narcissistic tendencies. I've seen them bootlick the right people due to their closer proximity and utilize crony wordplay to show that they are harmless. When in fact they try to advance their own agenda to further their own gain. Every company on their resume is a checklist and the megalomania in them is palpable. 

Unfortunately most people on the team are too naive and won't realize it until it's too late. Which means by the time he is done using everyone else, he will bounce and do it at their next company while completely f'ing over their current coworkers.

Anyone had a similar experience?
