The simplest cure for imposture syndrome I found for the work place (or anything that someone sees you as an expert in really) is to talk to the average person (or the new guy at work) about what it is you feel like an imposture about.

Because hoooohboy, realizing your passive experience is a kicker when you explain why something should be done that you think is common knowledge and everyone looks at you with that blank yet panicked look in their eyes with the thought floating behind them going "how do you KNOW all of this?" And it's like... I thought this was basic knowledge ? But apparently I'm actually knowledgeable at my job?

#could also be im an idiot savant in some matters #or could be people are just stupid and lack common sense #ive impostered this syndrome for the last time #also turns out competency is passively acquired much like acceptance of my presence around others
