壹蘋派生活美語　別再自我懷疑！擺脫冒名頂替症候群

　　Many factors can contribute to impostor syndrome. Research suggests that family upbringing plays an important role. Children with controlling or overprotective parents often develop these feelings later in life. Starting something new, like a job or school program, can also cause impostor syndrome since people may lack experience in their new roles. The good news is that people can take several approaches to overcoming impostor syndrome. One method is to talk about your doubts with others. Sharing your feelings reduces loneliness and allows others to remind you of your true abilities.

　　許多因素都可能導致冒名頂替症候群。研究顯示家庭教養扮演著重要的角色。如果父母控制欲過強或過度保護，孩子在往後的生活中會經常產生這些感覺。開始從事像新工作或新的學校課程等事物時，也可能導致冒名頂替症候群，因為人們可能缺乏新角色的經驗。好消息是人們可以採取多種方法來克服冒名頂替症候群。其中一種方法是與他人談論你的疑慮。分享你的感受可以減少孤獨感，並讓別人得以提醒你真正的能力。
