It’s an interesting perspective. I just find that, in a competitive line of work where projecting confidence and “grey hair”expertise is key to success, imposter syndrome can be somewhat crippling

if we’re lucky perhaps it never stops. life is not nearly as interesting doing jobs/tasks we already know how to do.

i try to find ways to stay energized by it, but curbing imposter syndrome is alas a fitness not a skill for me.

I think it is possible to be deeply content with who you are and what you have. At the moments I’ve been there I can’t trace the imposter. Having it consistently though, I’m not there yet.

The alternative is to feel supremely confident all the time, but as a result do nothing productive, content to sit and endlessly contemplate your own magnificence.

Stay hungry, imposter.
