ADHD and Impostor Syndrome

First I learned that I have ADHD, now I learn that I may have impostor syndrome when it comes to work and life in general. I have been masking for so long that I'm not sure what is a mask and what is not and impostor syndrome makes a lot of since when it comes to my profession as well as my side hustle as a photographer. This is my experience with masking my ADHD symptoms which possibly led me into impostor syndrome.

COMPLETELY relatable. My whole life is imposter syndrome.

I'm glad I'm finding this channel in its early days. I'm still waiting to get a diagnosis, but the more research I do the more things seems to fall into place. Maybe I'll finally figure out my messed up life and actually grow up--late, but better than never. I feel like impostor syndrome has held me back my entire life. I won't apply for jobs because I don't think I'm good enough, or I'm unqualified. I constantly give up on my own channel because I think I'm boring or have an annoying voice. I want to sell my art, but I never put it up because everyone seems better than me.

If it helps, I started watching your videos with your Inattentive ADHD video and I could tell right away that you had photography experience! The lighting was great! I caught that right away! I’ve done photography for the past 11 years and have even been published in Alaska Magazine several times, and I still never felt I was very good at it 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I loved it, so I kept going lol

Love your videos! I was just dianosed last month at 32. I am a photographer too and still don't think I am enough. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve always turned down offers of promotion at work, I never felt like I was good enough. Maybe now I know why.

Good video and explanation. I'm at the top of my class yet still feel like I'm the bottom and don't know what I'm doing.

I could crealy relate... i had impostor (or lucky stupid) syndrome as far as i rember, but i almost sure then maybe world but sure my country never heard about adhd.... but it clearly has fare share or was soley source of it... and my passion (programinng) causes impostor syndrome in "normal people" too... so level 9000

I have ADHD. Combination. Im in graduate school, I get paid more than some of my classmates because I have experience yet I feel I'm the dumbest in the program. My boss gives me extra responsibilities because she says I'm great and trusts my research capabilities yet I feel I suck at deciphering articles. My coworkers say I'm amazing with kids. I still feel like this hyper sloppy person in a fancy medical agency that got lucky to get there. It's a constant mental battle no matter how successful you are

Mind if ask where the picture at 2:41 was taken. It's beautiful.
