This is a tricky question because I believe it presents a little differently in everyone. This means that it happens to most people and that there's almost infinite ways of coping or adjusting.
For me, it's about having really authentic, open, supportive friends who can be a buffer if I'm on a downward thought spiral for too long.
And if I'm feeling inadequate at work or in school, I set my own goals. They already hired or accepted me. So all I have to do is be a little better than yesterday. And with clients, if you're Black and in healthcare, chances are they already like you and want you to do well.

As a perfectionist who also suffers from impostor syndrome, one thing that helped me is affirmations. Start your day by giving yourself kindness. Look in front of a mirror and start a daily mantra. It doesn't have to be anything flowery. A simple "I am good enough" can suffice. Another thing I did was talk about it. You're gonna need an outlet for those emotions and having a good set of family or friends can really help.

I stg why are white people so familiar?? Wore a wig today instead of my natural hair, tell me why a coworker told me I looked "more put together" with the wig on? Not the only annoying comment I got but this one was just blatantly rude. I don't say anything when becky wears her ratchet ass ponytail half the week so leave me alone. What is it like just existing in the world without people commenting or thinking about your appearance?

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

I recently started a job, about 3 months ago… I'm dealing with a coworker whose comments come across as passive-aggressive. I'm unsure if my race is part of the intention of these comments.
