Nah they just don't see all of my faults and problems that I constantly deal with and hide daily.

Yeah exactly. It's a bit reversed to the post. They don't see who we truly are, they just see the person we lie about being *edit spelling

Add on top of that the average person's own filter of generally being nice and not wanting confrontation, and the end result is that no one will say bad things about you to your face!

One thing the depressive imposter syndromers have in common: They think they suck at nearly everything except hiding theirselves and acting healthy.

People don't need to know how the sausage is made if they like it and it doesn't get them sick. They just want delicious sausage, and if you've got the goods, who cares if making it was a big mess?

Nah you also don't see any of your peers' faults and problems THEY constantly deal with. You just see the results they produce, or the face they present to the outside. Ever thought about that?

That is also true. We all have a face we know and a face we show the world.

Compared to the people who don’t deal. You’re doing better than you think you are friend.

I was thinking something similar, I’m not attractive enough to date in my 40s, but my daughter said I’m just not my type. Made me feel better.

It's an odd mix of both.

People think my comments are just edgy/pervy humor not thoughts have and try and contain.

We also don't see how skilled we are in tasks as it's just what we do. Others can see the skill from outside.

I get shit on for my job most everyday to the point I question what I know. Until I'm having to explain how processes work and I kinda grasp I might have a clue.

But I am told more often than not I don't know shit about most topics even when it's part of my degree or job.
