upworthy impostor syndrome psychology

shared by kushnerha on 12 Dec 15 - No Cached
  • Lots of people have projects they've been sitting on. For some people, it's legitimately because some thing they need to move forward has stalled or because they really do have too much on their plate to get to it.
  • It's this gripping fear that can set in, making you doubt whether you have any place at all trying to do the work you feel called to do.
  • That obstacle is called "impostor syndrome."

  • "Two American psychologists, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes, gave it a name in 1978: the impostor syndrome. They described it as a feeling of 'phoniness in people who believe that they are not intelligent, capable or creative despite evidence of high achievement.' While these people 'are highly motivated to achieve,' they also 'live in fear of being "found out" or exposed as frauds.'"
  • Sometimes because a skill we have comes easily to us, we think it must not be that valuable. So when we try to pass it off as valuable, we think we must be fooling people.
  • Making the crucial leap from thought to action is what's important.
  • "Market" implies you have to figure out how to monetize it. But that's not necessarily true. It can mean that, but it doesn't have to. Really, bringing the value you've created to "the market" just means getting it in front of people.
  • may just spark a new collaboration or open a door to some other next steps in doing whatever the thing is that you like doing.

    I love this video. Not only for the incredible imagery that it provides, but also for the perspective it offers from those that have worked on these missions and those that have seen the Earth like we see the moon. They articulate it so well it goes along perfectly with the topic of perception in TOK
