Imagine sitting in an important work meeting. Although your boss praises your job performance, deep down, you feel like a fraud. You question if you deserve the credit and wonder when people will discover that you are not as talented as they think. If this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing impostor syndrome. Impostor syndrome is the feeling that people have when they doubt their abilities, even when they have been successful or have received praise. They worry that one day, everyone will realize they are faking it.
