Suffering imposter syndrome tonight after a huge win where I got funding and staff (a minor miracle) for a pretty exciting initiative that will have huge benefits (I know, because I've done it before).
I wrote a great proposal. I have experience in the arena. It's fucking why I was hired. I'm great at this.
But the reaction was shock and surprise that I got the approval and funding. 😕
@Cosmichomicide 👏🏾 👏🏾
don't let the bastards get you down. it may have just been that no one gets that kind of funding not that you were inadequate or anything.
you deserve this! you earned this! you got this! woo hoo! 👊🏾
@Cosmichomicide haters gonna hate don't let anyone yuck your yum!! congratulations on your accomplishments!
@Cosmichomicide
Massive congratulations! 🎉🎊✨👊🏽😊
Relish the win and the valuable insight on how others are reacting. Try not to worry about the subtle digs. It’s just projection. Their reactions are reflective of how they see themselves… often in relation to you.
Thank you all for the awesome replies. I should be over this by this point in my career, but it caught me by surprise, TBH.
