Can we please share our failures and insecurities? I think people need to know we aren’t all perfect as we seem.

I have anxiety about being smart enough for this job and just overall confidence issues in the job. Feel dumb a lot and like I don’t get it. Also struggle with weight (I’m normal size female but really flabby stomach and workout everyday but all my friends are fit and beautiful). Just feel like I keep gaining weight. And I have super thin hair that I don’t know how to do anytning with.

SC3 not sure if you’re female or male but I’m a female and I get tape in extensions sometimes. It makes me feel better but of course it’s not permanent and not good for your hair to have them in forever but I love them. I also get hair blow outs for weddings and stuff and try to take biotin or use special shampoos

When it comes to work, I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't understand what everyone else is talking about. I also feel like my life isn't where it should be. People who graduated with me are already stable in their job and getting promotion after promotion, while I'm floundering around trying to figure out what to do with my life.

Also sorry to hear about your Accenture situation :/

Who the hell ‘seems’ perfect? Your firm helped precipitated the opioid crisis. No one here has their hands clean.

Is this mostly a McK issue? Didnt think other firms struggled w this too

Always been overweight and it bothers me.

I’m very insecure about my height, as a guy. I’m 5’5-5’6 range & worry my height will defer me from succeeding professionally. Fortunately, it hasn’t been a huge issue romantically. I’m also unemployed right now after making $130k right after college (incl bonus). Idk what to do.

Tall gal here. Rock your height. It shouldn’t impact you professionally or romantically if you let it. I’ve never judged a romantic or colleague based on height. Don’t let it define you. (PS tall gals like me are self conscious of how we’re often not considered cute and sometimes guys won’t date us because we’re tall / worried about being emasculated.)

I suck at sports that requires hand eye coordination. Feel embarrassed when asked to be a sport. 😔

I feel like I'm under educated. I went to a b class eng school and didn't go to business school so I feel unqualified in both business and tech (not in the US, where I'm from school matters a lot) . Don't have the money for an MBA. I keep switching between I am a fraud and I'm better than y all state of mind.
