I keep a file in my GDocs of good feedback I've got, positive tweets, reassuring advice/compliments from editors. Doesn't always quiet The Voice™, but it can offset it a bit

We all suffer from imposter syndrome (you're not alone). But...Look at your cv. See how far you've come. Think about all the people who come to YOU for advice and who listen when YOU speak. Doubts keep you honest. You don't need to stop having doubts, just to move round them. Hug

See I have a couple of conspiracy theories about all of that stuff, but I’ll trust to trust

I think in some ways it's a positive. It keeps you humble, without it I think people run the risk of becoming obnoxious braggards. I try to accept that people come to me for work for some reason other than "just being nice", I still feel a fraud but they seem happy with what I do

If that’s it’s function then I feel like it’s being a little overzealous ;)

I do like this quote! And totally saw that plot twist coming ;) Though, it makes me wonder, what if everyone feels like an imposter so it’ll be harder to identify the real imposters, who are me ;)
