I loved this article. I can relate to the concepts around being “creative” and the performing arts, but can see this in everyday life. From the employee or manager trying to convince others of their skill or to sell a concept. We as a society have become suspicious of everyone telling us about any new idea because of all the gaslighting around us. The world burns very bright from the gaslighting, and the light of authentic ideas and performances is dimmed by its comparison. The concept of imposter syndrome is partially because of lack of confidence in oneself but also due to fear of attack from others who disbelieve that this could be a genuine idea, product or performance.
My advice is for everyone “stay real”. Liars and charlatans are usually found out and once they are people will never trust them again no matter how sincere they become
I really like your line about the world burning bright from the gaslighting, and relating all this back to imposter syndrome. I think that may be an idea to explore in a future newsletter!
Oooooh, can I just say what a pleasure it is to read these. One of the highlights of the week for sure!
Aw thank you! You made my week! :)
