Imposter syndrome

 

Scroll on past this post. It’s shit.

.

I spent my childhood being told that I was stupid.

Over and over for years until I was convinced that I was.

I had no clue I could write more than basic sentences until I was 40.

Even now there’s a part of me saying YOU ARE A LIAR!!!! A FRAUD!!!! And no matter what anyone tells me, I feel it.

Sometimes that part of me gets loud, very, very loud.

I have to step back and I can’t really say much because no matter what, I cannot believe anyone when that part gets loud. I end up feeling like I’m just a joke who is being laughed at. Just like I was when I was a child.

Be kind to the quiet weirdo, he’s been through more than you know.
