I admire people who have achieved what I
aspire to, but I don’t think I belong in their
ranks.
I feel like a lot of my successes were a
matter of luck.
I feel foolish or uncomfortable describing my
achievements.
When I’m around other people in my ﬁeld, I
tend to feel they deserve their place in it
more than I do.
I worry that people will realize how little I
know.
When people praise me, I feel like I’m getting
away with something.
I can’t believe that my successes will last.
I feel like my successes don’t really prove
anything.
You Are Not Alone
