Better than being an entitled prick: how I made peace with my imposter syndrome.
<p>Working in academia, being LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, female, and from a working-class background have all led me to believe I am a fraud. This is about how I have learned to live with and accept my imposter syndrome.</p>
<p>I’ve been waiting most of my adult life to be “found out” and exposed as a fraud. Every performance review or “Can I have a quiet word?” had led me to believe it had finally happened. But it hasn’t happened, not yet, anyway. I’ve felt like an imposter in my personal life, too.</p>
<p>Somehow, I managed to blag my way into most of the jobs I’ve ever had, into a career in nursing, academia, and even a Ph.D. at a Russell Group University. Nobody has noticed my incompetence. Perhaps they need to look harder?</p>
