Impostor phenomenon/syndrome and perfectionism

Posted by griffith on Sunday, September 05 2021 at 11:46:32PM

It is really infuriating to see how many people, especially women, say they suffer from these syndromes. Can't they think that they really are impostors? And why do people so often say that they are perfectionists, as if they meant that they are already near perfection?
