This may sound silly, but anytime I’m in a meeting and someone says “Like Eyvonne was just saying…” I get a little positive jolt. I’ve been aware that this minor acknowledgment results in an outsized sense of appreciation for over 2 years now.

What does it say about my earliest experiences as a kid through a career in tech that after 2 years such a small thing means so much … #impostersyndrome #selfawareness #womenintech #stem

I’m learning that most of my imposter syndrome is not really about a lack of confidence in my intelligence or ability, it’s about a sense of belonging. Do I belong here? Do people listen to what I say? Do I have a right to speak up?

Although I know I have these abilities intellectually, early-learned patterns die last. There have been a few folks who’ve helped me.

@SharpNetwork join the club m8. It's hard to just be normal nowadays and feel like you belong. Hang tight you will find it.

@GH0ST239 I think the only reason there’s awareness of any of this is because it’s better now and I can look back and see clearly.
