    I’m starting to wonder if imposter syndrome and self-awareness go hand in hand. Or if maybe imposter syndrome is self-awareness gone wrong, or dialed up too high. Because it seems like you will never see imposter syndrome in people like Ben Shapiro who are absolutely convinced of their own superiority or intelligence. Narcissists are probably immune to imposter syndrome.

      Damn, that’s actually a pretty good take 🤔

      It would make sense that heightened self awareness be correlated to imposter syndrome.

      Someone once asked if I thought I was even good enough to have imposter syndrome and my brain imploded that day.
