Read this if you felt like an impostor this week
If you’re feeling like you’re not smart enough, successful enough, or cool enough to talk to that other person, you’re probably right.
I’m not saying you are too dumb, unaccomplished, or uncool - we don’t know each other well enough yet!
Beyond being known worldwide as Zvi’s Birthday Month, May is also Mental Health Awareness Month. Over the past five years, I’ve invested heavily in unwinding all the stories in my head that, while it’s gotten me to where I am today, don’t serve me moving forward.
It might be holding you back too, as I’ve witnessed in countless interactions with others. The feeling of not being good enough, of being an impostor is preventing you from engaging as your full self.
The “good” news is you’re not alone.

6 个月Hey Zvi, thanks for sharing this. Impostor syndrome can be such a struggle, but talking about it and knowing we're not alone definitely helps. I've found that focusing on my past achievements and reminding myself of my capabilities can pull me out of that mindset.

6 个月Happy Birthday! And UGH, so many nuances to a good Imposter Affliction. I remember first hearing the word from a graphic designer who was part of a networking group that I belonged to. She was all confidence and directness, and then she asked during a meeting, "What do I do about crippling Imposter Syndrome." I had to look it up! Thank you for writing about this today.
Happy Birthday, Zvi! Thank you for making us realize we're all in the same boat with imposter syndrome and it shouldn't stop us from continuing to grow and move forward.
