Imposter syndrome is a common experience in both the engineering and content creation fields. It can stem from questioning one's own capabilities and feeling inferior compared to others. In the engineering world, imposter syndrome can arise when challenging senior leaders or questioning design requirements. In the content creation space, imposter syndrome can be fueled by the pressure to appear superior and the unpredictability of algorithms. Overcoming imposter syndrome requires being aware of one's unique voice, being humble, and focusing on creating content that is true to oneself. Upgrading equipment and improving production quality can also help boost confidence. Nuance and context are important in navigating politically charged topics, and it's essential to find a balance between being true to oneself and avoiding cancel culture.
