Imposter Syndrome
summary
Imposter syndrome affects about 70% of professionals and shows as self-doubt, anxiety and lost productivity; an informal poll of 30 peers finds around 80–90% relate. Concrete tactics include owning earlier successes rather than chalking them up to luck, minimizing social media comparisons, asking for help from colleagues, accepting failure as learning, and using simple mantras like "you can do this". Lowering short‑term expectations helps survive big events like GDC.
