Cominski - What is imposter syndrome?

Cameron - Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where an individual doubts their own accomplishments and has a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud or impostor. Despite evidence of their competence, people with imposter syndrome feel that they do not deserve their success and that they have somehow deceived others into believing that they are more capable or intelligent than they really are. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence in one's abilities. Imposter syndrome is a common experience, particularly among high achievers, but it can be overcome with awareness, support, and self-compassion.

 

Cominski - Where or when can you see imposter syndrome?

Cameron - Imposter syndrome can occur in various settings, including the workplace, academia, and personal relationships. It's often experienced by high-achievers who may feel like they don't deserve their success or that they have somehow deceived others into believing that they are more competent than they really are. Imposter syndrome can occur at any time in a person's life, but it's particularly common during times of transition or change, such as starting a new job, taking on a new role, moving to a new place, and even beginning a new relationship.

 

Cominski - How can you identify manipulators?

Cameron - Manipulators can be difficult to identify, and their tactics can leave us feeling confused, hurt, and vulnerable. It's common for those who have been manipulated to feel ashamed or embarrassed, as if they somehow should have known better or seen the signs earlier. But it's important to remember that manipulation is not your fault. It's a tactic used by those who seek to control others, and it's not a reflection of your worth or intelligence. Some signs that someone may be a manipulator include: They twist the truth or lie to create a false reality. They frequently use guilt, pity or threats of violence to get what they want. They try to isolate you from friends and family or other support systems. They constantly shift blame onto others and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. They make unrealistic promises or commitments that they cannot keep. They use passive-aggressive behavior to express their displeasure or manipulate you into doing something. They try to make you feel like you owe them something or that you are in debt to them. If you suspect that you are being manipulated, it's important to remember that you have the right to set boundaries and communicate your needs clearly. You are also not alone, and seeking support from trusted friends, family, or a therapist can help you navigate this difficult situation. Remember to be gentle with yourself and to prioritize your own well-being above all else.
