Jonobie<p>Nothing in the quote is particularly surprising, of course, but it's hard to see in this current environment because obviously my hope is that we keep reducing <a href="https://social.coop/tags/ImposterSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ImposterSyndrome</span></a>, since I'm teaching about coping with it! </p><p>I'd love to go out of business entirely in this space. </p><p>Currently pondering if there's anything I should change for that class given our current environment in the US. It already has DEI pretty baked in so I feel good about that.</p>

maschmi<p>It is over a year since I've started (again) to become more visible on social networks, by blog articles and going into discussions and to meetups. I have gotten some positive feedback, nearly none negative one. </p><p>But I still struggle with the "I do not have anything important or interesting to say" feeling. This feeling makes me delete posts, over analysing the things I say/write and is sometimes really exhausting. Ironically, interactions help to reduce this in general.<br> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/impostersyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>impostersyndrome</span></a></p>
Dr. Korinna Allhoff<p>This morning I had an almost-accident with the car. Nothing happened, luckily, and I made it to the office safely, together with my little coworker. I desperately want to count that as a win, but hey, I’m so tired thanks to my coworker’s sleep regression and I’ve broken my favourite cup and that’s all too much for one morning.
