Imagine you're in class and you just answered a question correctly. You think, 'Everyone knows I got lucky.' That's impostor syndrome, when people feel like they don't deserve their success. It happens to smart people too, even if they're doing well.
Examples
- You ace a test but think it was just luck.
- Your boss praises you, but you feel like you're faking it.
- You get promoted but believe others think you're not ready.
