Thanks for writing this post, Lizka! I've been a lurker on the forum for a few months now, and decided to make this comment my first one. I definitely struggle with Impostor Syndrome a lot, so it is incredibly helpful to be able to bookmark this post. I really like the recent approach of transparency about Impostor Syndrome, between Luisa's post on 80,000 Hours and this. I think it is really insightful to understand that others also experience this, and your point about "putting a word to the phenomenon" really does alleviate some of the issue. I don't really have anything insightful to add here; I mostly wanted to comment on how helpful this post is (at least to me)! The EA community is made better with these types of posts.
