Impostor syndrome is an epidemic
There are several reasons why the impostor syndrome seems to have become an epidemic.
- We have given the phenomenon a name.
- Our preoccupation with it is the result of profound social change. Many people work in the service economy, where we create impressions rather than tangible items.
- Professional life today leaves us straining to redefine ourselves; we sometimes promise things we don't yet know how to do.
- We are no longer born into a role.
- We can constantly compare our experiences to those of others online.
- We can create an outward persona we know to be untrue.
