I have the same issue. I tend to believe the worst about myself. I save all positive comments that I have received via email or chat into a document and review it regularly to keep the negativity at bay.

Are you semi new to the role? I STRUGGLED when I first started in my role now. I know I am most confident when I’m knowledgeable so I tried to absorb as much as possible by asking questions, studying how folks speak and run their meetings, etc. That confidence will come with time. In the meantime, trust that you were chosen for a reason. If they didn’t believe in you and what you offer, they would’ve passed on you. You got this!!

I'm in a new role and am struggling with imposter syndrome. Similar to you, I'm confident when I am knowledgeable but everything is just so new and different, which is making me question my abilities. The anxiety is getting to me.

Learn as much as you can and make sure you know more than most. Domain expertise comes with time but the initiative to find new/quick ways to learn will set you apart.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.
