Your Type
You handle imposter syndrome by 'lowering yourself into the dust first'. You extremely fear being seen as not that great, so you just tell everyone upfront 'I suck, I can't do this, this is just luck'. You use self-deprecation and humor as a vaccine; if you give no expectations, you won't disappoint. But this long-term self-belittlement will eventually make you truly lose the confidence to soar. You are actually great, bravely admit it!
💡 Did you know?
Psychology calls this 'Self-Handicapping'. Deliberately creating obstacles or lowering expectations before a challenge to pre-fabricate a perfect excuse for potential failure.
