Self believe?

You meet new people - on some you cringe, some are boring, some intrigue you, some you respect, and some are intimidating It is the intimidating lot that makes me jhzdgfhfghsjj (how do I explain this) I feel small infront of them, even though I am not in the same room or face to face There's an unknown fear, it feels you have to prove yourself to them (for no reason) Somehow our brains put them on a higher pedestal for various reasons - it is different reasons for different people Why why do I have to feel like this? How do I get rid of it?

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 ?

Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand. Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE DONE, I just have to work to finish it. But when I get stuck on a problem, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE DONE, I just keep thinking about it even if I close my laptop. The more I think, the more scary the problem becomes and then I start thinking if it continues and I'm not able to deliver more work, I might get fired and then during background verification for the next company, they will see I was fired and then no one will hire me. Basically my thoughts spiral out of control and make my life miserable to the point where I don't feel hungry. If I'm confident I'm very confident, I feel like i can do any problem but when I see myself failing multiple times, i lose my mental strength I need help and I want to improve this nature, not get stressed when things go south. Do you guys feel the same or know how to handle it Any books or words of wisdom or thought process that you follow which helps you deal with job related work stress will be extremely helpful.

I recently posted a CTC check and a lot of people commented that I was overpaid. Why are boomers so jealous and annoyed of Zoomers earning more? 🤡

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?

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?

I have been treating myself like shit lately. I have 100s of people who root for me but my mind pin points my emotional bandwidth on the ones who only see the "incapable" or "unworthy" side of me. Whenever I think highly of myself, a tiny sinister voice creeps in and labels me as "arrogant" or "dellusional" or "overconfident". PS: I am someone who was at times bullied in school for being too polite (people started to associate it with feminine energy, although now that I am an adult, I feel being softspoken has opened more doors for me than others). This did leave a scar on my self-esteem, given how pampered and protected I was as a child.

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 ?

For whatever reason. I have a superiority complex because I’ve done okay relative to my humble roots. But while I am nice in person, mentally I often feel superior and smarter. And I don’t like that I think that way. Trying to do away with it, but idk how to succeed :/
