Matthew CloverOne of things that will sometimes come up for me is sometimes, am I really an ultra runner if I haven’t run a 100 mile race? I think I heard someone say you “need a buckle to really be an ultra runner” once. This would have been at the very beginning of my journey. Solid chance they were joking. Haven’t heard it repeated either, yet it will pop up in my mind one in awhile. I know it’s not true and…<a href="https://runtrimag.com/overcoming-imposter-syndrome-in-endurance-athletes/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://runtrimag.com/overcoming-imposter-syndrome-in-endurance-athletes/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ultrarunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ultrarunning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/impostersyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#impostersyndrome</a> (2/2)

Druid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I've been able to solve a confusing issue for a user this morning and I'm very pleased with the solution. I do such things all the time but this one feels like an achievement. I have massive <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ImposterSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ImposterSyndrome</a> even after nearly 27 years in the company.

Different ThanIrvin Yalom asked the members of hundreds (or thousands) of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/psychotherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#psychotherapy</a> groups to write down their worst secret fear. He said that these fears could almost always be classified as one of two things:<ul><li>Fear of being unlovable or unable to love fully</li><li>Fear of not contributing sufficiently to the world around you</li></ul>He was initially trained as a Freudian1 psychoanalyst, so he called these fears "Lieben und Arbeiten". I sometimes think of this as I go through my life: everyone I meet or see, no matter how they present themselves, is probably struggling with (1) a feeling that they are not lovable or they don't know how to love others, and (2) a feeling that they have failed to make a difference in the world around them.This makes me feel closer to people, even people I don't want to feel close to.1 Freud was a shitty scientist and his theories were generally very bad. He was, however, an astute observer of human behavior and maybe an okay half-assed philosopher.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/theory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theory</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/grouptherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grouptherapy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fear</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ImposterSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ImposterSyndrome</a>
