I am still trying to figure out what "Imposter syndrome" means. Did you write these wonderful books? If yes, then you are NOT an imposter.<br /><br />Not sure if this is what "Imposter syndrome" means in my case. I will try to be brief. When I was a baby, I was healthy. I was learning to talk and walk when I was stricken with meningitis, leaving me with a profound hearing loss. Since then, my label is "DEAF person". There have been times when someone would accuse me of being a "fake", saying that I cannot be Deaf. True, I do not fit the stereotype of the Deaf person you see in movies or on tv. I have met many deaf people who are individuals with different talents. It is like meeting people with different talents.<br /><br />When I read about "Imposter syndrome", it sounds more like a guilt thing for doing well ? I will have to google Imposter syndrome.<br /><br />Also, Sir Laurence Olivier once said that everyone is an actor. Was it Shakespeare who said "the world's a stage"?<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-58951065765424583502020-02-26T05:33:21.979-05:002020-02-26T05:33:21.979-05:00I am, Hank.

When I applied for my current job I was asked if I had any experience working in a medical office. My answer was no but I didn't have anything experience in a HMO office when I started there but I learned and I can be taught. Thankfully they didn't ask me about my spelling, I would have had to lie. I can tell the word is spelled wrong but I can't tell you the correct spelling.

I was in the second excelerated class, and we were constantly told that we were smart and not living up to our potential. I get that they were trying to inspire us but what I took from that was that I didn't get credit for the good stuff because I was expected to do well but the bad stuff was my fault. Now another thing I get annoyed about is why people think that if you are good at one thing, you automatically will be good at other things. That's not always true.
