You got it -mostly got it - by the end of your post, dear. And by quoting Sonny. No one is perfect, few - if ever - feel fully qualified. Everyone's winging it. The creatives, the intuitives, feel the lapse of self confidence - the feeling of not being good enough, perfect enough, feeling as if they fooling themselves and others - they feel it most powerfully. Breathe deeply and calmly, you are doing fine, relax. Secret: you are perfect - perfectly you.
Amen, Uncle Ray. There’s a lovely designer-podcaster named Debbie Millman (of the Design Matters podcast) who was once asked how she got over her Imposter Syndrome. Her response warmed my heart: After a short sigh, she said, “Oh, dear one, how sweet of you to think I have.” Or something along those lines. I wish I noted which podcast she said that in!
Clint, just carry on what your carrying on with, I see no problems. But, I realise we can be our own worst enemy, god knows I'm an expert at it....and the Ivory Tower comes in handily to lick my wounds in 🤨 So Clint shake a tail feathers and get out in your best frock and heels and show em what Clint Collide is all about. 🫂❤ Cheers DougT 🏴🇬🇧
Feel what you need to feel but then get back on the horse and ride. I believe that we all feel like imposterns some or all of the time. Even at my experienced, successful, wonderful 80 years ... I still feel like a fraud sometimes. But I have learned to not take myself too seriously and by the next day or the next project, I am back on the horse, or the bicycle, or the roller skates and plugging away at life!
Clint,
That is really stupid. Why beat yourself up over something so silly? Take a look back at all the wonderful things you have accomplished. Look at all the joy and love you have brought to others. You are being really foolish to suffer the fraud complex, it is unnecessary! Don't do that to yourself. Just stop!
Thank you, Michael. I think it’s safe to safe most creatives wake up every now and then questioning what/why we do what/why we do things. Mine was a temporary lapse of confidence. After I posted it, I took myself out for breakfast (and a drive) and got right back to work. Pretty happy with how the day (and latest video) turned out! Big virtual hugs….

It's a demon on our backs, largely of our own making. Don't give it any substance or belief. (Until the next time it appears, repeat and rinse)
