Impostor syndrome isn’t an internal issue. It’s one that can be encouraged externally. It’s not delusional to think you’re undeserving, even if you’ve overcome great odds, when some stand to benefit from casting you as such. That’s why we lift each other’s light. #ShineTheory

“From the beginning, imposter syndrome has been primarily associated with women. ‘We’re still living in a culture which displays varying degrees of misogynistic attitudes, and those attitudes are definitely displayed in the workplace’” mentalfloss.com/article/75699/
