Today is worthy Wednesday. I suffer greatly with imposter syndrome, so I need to hear this, you are worthy of the position you hold. You were called to the profession for a reason, you are not perfect, but that is not a prerequisite to doing the job well.

Thank you. I needed to hear this today. It's been 8 years, and I still feel like an imposter. Thank you.

As did you my friend! Keep trying and striving!

I like to think as imposter syndrome as the polar opposite of arrogance. Instead of having an overinflated ego and thinking that you're better than what your skills are, you doubt yourself despite how qualified you are. Neither is ideal, but I know which side I'd rather tend towards. Feeling like an imposter just means you are self-critical and have the capacity to keep improving to make up where you think you are lacking.

It is so difficult in this profession where 1st year teachers are surrounded by 20 year veterans. Someone always knows more than you, a better way to do something or feels superior so they treat you poorly. It makes it very easy to always feel like you don't belong.

Thank you for posting this. I think I needed it really bad. It has been a rough week at school

You did it though! You came out the other side. I hope this weekend you found the peace and renewal needed to take make it through this next week.

I suffer from imposter syndrome as well so this is something I really needed to hear. Thank you for this reminder today.

I think I may have finally had it.

A couple of decades in this field and now I want to just walk away. The grind in tech is soul-destroying, and the vast majority of the time, coworkers outside of UX have no idea what it is, what it’s for, and how it’s applied. I’m at my wits end and the constant problem is a kind of “willful misunderstanding” of our process and value.

After wasting too many years on design immature companies, It’s senselessly depressing. I’ve given away too much of myself.
