do u ever feel like you’ve accidentally tricked certain people into thinking you are smarter and have more potential than you actually do and do you ever think about how disappointed they’ll be when you inevitably crash and burn

[legacysam]

Fun fact: Impostor Syndrome is ridiculously common among high-achievers, particularly women. If you identify with this post, odds are pretty good that you’re exactly as smart as people think you are, and the failure you’re afraid of isn’t inevitable at all.

Even Maya Angelou stated, “I have written 11 books, but each time I think, ‘Uh oh, they’re going to find out now. I’ve run a game on everybody, and they’re going to find me out.’”

and don’t forget this is one of the psychological barriers placed in by thousands years of patriarchy and male supremacy.

My computer science professor actually talked about this on the first day, it was really cool.

Fun brutal fact: in addition to the existence of imposter syndrome, being “twice exceptional” (also known as 2e) is also a thing. That means being intellectually gifted AND ALSO having a disability that affects your ability to succeed at study or work. Such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc etc etc. A lot of people believe that it’s not possible to be both, but it very much is.

Society tends to have very high expectations for how well gifted people will perform. Society tends to have low expectations for how well disabled people will perform. Society tends to attribute invisible disabilities, including mental illness, to a failure of willpower or effort or a bad attitude.

So if you read this post and went “no, but seriously, this is not just low self esteem on my part, people keep thinking I’m smart and then I keep crashing and burning and disappointing them and they can’t understand why I didn’t live up to their expectations, it happens again and again and when I tell someone how I feel and ask for help, they just tell me to stop being so hard on myself and that I’ll succeed if I have more self-confidence,” it is not just you.

(Also, one of the previous posts in this thread buried the lede a little. Imposter syndrome is ridiculously common in people from underrepresented groups in academia and other high pressure/high status fields, particularly women and people of colour. Maya Angelou did not only feel out of place because she was a woman.)

This essay also totally changed my view on the intersection of impostor syndrome and mental illness.

The “PDX Dad Pod” (in orange) has joined with “Moms Against Police Brutality” (in yellow) in demonstrating against the police and for the Black Lives Matter movement. The dads are asking each other to bring leaf blowers if possible, to blow off tear gas. The night before, Feds attacked the moms with tear gas and flash grenades (link).

“But you guys get affirmative action” - white people. Affirmative action still ain’t better than your white privilege.

[alwaysbewoke]

white people want to talk about affirmative action? let’s talk about it then. 

so please…

[ephemeraldesiderata]

You just think it’s a coincidence that POC all across the nation just happen to live in under funded and ignored communities? White people are just naturally what, better at making money? Lol bye. Educate yourself. Re blogging for all those dope ass sources.

[jgreenjoy-blog]

I start work finally, after four months of nothing. Not on unemployment either for the whole time I've been out. It seems so fucked up how things are in this little bubble in the univ. It stresses me out, I don't feel like there's anything to truly make up for how fucked this place is. Plus I've gotten fatter lol and I've been playing a stupid lil phone game to pass the time because I'm just too depressed and anxiety filled to do anything else. HMU if you feel me.

“I earned more money than I knew what to do with, and I didn’t want to forget my roots. So I paid back the people who helped me and my family.” He’s also giving elderly and low income people three free meals a day.

Past a certain point, extra money doesn’t really benefit you, so give it those that would benefit. Quit letting people hoard ludicrous amounts of money out of vanity when others need it so much more.

[radicxlbitch-deactivated2019041]

Imagine. Jeff Bezos can do this 400+ times a day for impoverished people but what is he doing with the money, may I ask? Hoarding it.
