Sorry to hear this Laura. I always loved your research! Agree we should do much more to support people through PhD rather than fetishising criticism and (fake) toughness.
Thanks Ben, I appreciate it! I think for me it was less about people being rude (not that this didn't happen!) and more about constantly feeling like I didn't measure up. But I don't mean to suggest that all of my experiences were negative.
I think most of us still in this business regularly feel a mix of impostor syndrome or not measuring up. Even when you make Full! Something about the sheer personal nature of the job - it really is your work under analysis, your argument, your insights. It’s exhausting.
For me, the conflation of one's work and self-worth was one of the hardest things. I'm not sure if I find it heartening or disheartening to hear you express a similar sentiment!
Well articulated.
