Versagensangst, obwohl man gut ausgebildet ist, erfolgreich im Job und regelmäßig gutes Feedback auf die eigenen Leistungen bekommt? Viele Menschen haben im Lauf ihres Lebens mit dem Impostor-Syndrom zu kämpfen - ich auch. Darüber spreche ich in der brandneuen Folge des #VerbindungSchaffen Podcasts.
There are some Gazans who follow me (probably because of my anti-Netanyahuistic toots).
That is, they *claim* to be Gazan - while shouting that they need donations (like in https://infosec.exchange/@anasgaza11@mastodon.social - see the screenshot below).
They *may* be telling the truth, or they may as well be like the leeches who pose as a Nigerian prince ("419", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam).
This Gazan man also claims
"Computer Engineering 
"
but has not been involved in any discussion that would add evidence to their claims.
I am extremely sorry if I'm wrong and they're real, desparate, Gazans who really could use some money, but I will mute all of these persons.
They either should not ask for funding, or shoud do a LOT better job proving their authenticity. It's just way too easy to fake an identity in order to fill your pockets, robbing people who DO care about those being denied their human rights.
ich gebe zu : ich bin betroffen. Als #Lehrkraft geht das in den ersten Jahren leicht, hat man nur den oberflächlichen Vergleich mit Kollegen im Lehrerzimmer und kann noch nicht auf "Erfolge" wie bestandene Abschlussprüfungen zurückblicken.
Zusammenarbeit? Finde ich kaum.
Unterstützung durch ältere Kollegen? Nicht weniger. 
Deswegen sehr hörenswert:

Mittlerweile komme ich besser zurecht, aber im Hinterkopf sitzt es noch. Geht vermutlich nicht weg
You know that #impostor syndrome that happens when you stray to the edge of your comfort zone?
When your confidence crumbles and you question: can I really have anything to contribute here?
Fortunately, as a middle-aged white English-speaking privately-educated European cishet man who is nearly 2 metres tall I don’t get that.
It must suck though.

What's the word for "amateur among amateurs"?
Preferably in English but will also accept German (because you know they've got, I mean make up, a word for that). 
Asking for a me, looking to describe self in any area in which I dabble.
I think about this a lot. I’ve been making my living in #bioinformatics for almost twenty years (!) with a #PhD for ten: if I’m not “good at it” by now, I’m doing something seriously wrong. But #impostor #syndrome never stops whispering in the back of my head. Probably that’s true of most competent people in most fields.
The problem is that while self-doubt may be necessary for competence, it’s not sufficient. So you never really know.

Whenever #impostor #syndrome hits, I feel like a villain in my own story. 
Especially when I remember the that a scheduling conflict in high school led to me picking computer science and physics over biology and computer science.
(a bioinformatics degree was what I was actually lining myself up for, *gestures at self* and look at what I've done with my life)
"My Job History"
I used to be a spry young man
Living out of a Chevy van
And working any job I could.
Back then I thought that I was good
At any task I tried to tackle.
But money has become my shackle,
So now I mostly work from home
And suffer from impostor syndrome.
Riddle:
I’m father’s choice, but mother dotes
On you. She bid you kill two goats
And serve them up to win his blessing
Impersonating me and dressing
In their skins. You’ve been at my heels
And cooking up deceptive meals
Since birth. My due now goes to you…
I sold it for a bowl of stew.
Who are we?
@lorddimwit Is this just another attempt to support my #impostor complex and remind me that nobody can understand #Haskell without many years studying for the CS degree?
I know we're all excited, but did anyone check to see if George Takei's mastodon account is really him? I hope it is but if it's not I'd be kinda bummed.
Hörtipp zum Wochenende: Wie unterscheiden sich gelegentliche Selbstzweifel vom echten #Impostor-Phänomen, unter dem besonders mehrfach marginalisierte Menschen leiden? Ist Impostern ein gesellschaftlich gemachtes Konstrukt oder vielmehr eine Frage der persönlichen Ressourcen? Und wie kann ich diesen Gefühlen begegnen?
Antworten gibt der @lila_podcast diesmal mit Psychologin Marlene #Kollmayer von der #UniWien. #LilaPodcast
