Impostor Syndrome is fun!
Jul. 29th, 2010 05:02 pmI'm having horrible impostor syndrome today, woe.
( for whinging )
I'm assuming that I'm not actually alone in "I suck and I'm only in this program because everyone feels sorry for me." What are you ways of coping? So far I'm just reminding myself that my adviser is well-known for providing blunt commentary on one's papers and mostly she just wants me to use academic language a bit more than I do, so obviously I'm not totally worthless right? right?
So, what are your ways of coping or working past it all?
