What does imposter syndrome feel like?

Imposter syndrome feels like you're the lone unworthy individual working alongside others who are far more competent than you. When you think about your job, you feel like you're only able to perform it through some combination of luck and tricking your colleagues.

Finally, imposter syndrome fosters a feeling of self-doubt that spurs many toward increased and often unhealthy levels of work. By creating ever-increasing standards and attributing all success to unwholesome amounts of work, someone with imposter syndrome will feel like their career is a house of cards waiting to collapse.
