Fake it till you make it

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Dude, for real. Half of what people call "efficiency" is just routine and winging stuff you know you don't really need to prepare.

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Most of expertise is learning what doesnt matter and why.

Ah, getting gender envy from a meme once again

[-] pipe01@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

Genuinely curious, what do you mean by that?

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 10 points 10 months ago

I'm a trans girl (haven't transitioned yet though :c) and the woman in this meme is soooo pretty, makes me wish I was her.

[-] pipe01@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

Gotcha, thanks

[-] xavier666@lemmy.umucat.day 2 points 10 months ago

How many trans girls does it take to change a light bulb?

Only one and you don't even need a light bulb. Tell her she is beautiful, and she will light up the room!

You're all pretty 🥰

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

it's tough. you're beautiful. don't sweat the small stuff and find someone who loves you for you.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

I love the art style! Do you know who the artist is?

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

I've seen it around before but would like to know as well.

It's the cartoonized version of the profile pic of a mastodon power shit poster. She has some good stuff.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It reminds me of sewing patterns for dresses drawings

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

So is it still imposter syndrome if I can recognize that I am in fact decently competent but think any recognition for said competency is at best stupid at worst a fine excuse to commit self sabotage? Because I could do an action of complete selflessness and heroism but if anyone congratulates me I will threaten their lives.

[-] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Come on, man. Let me have something

[-] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

Here is the original source if anyone wants to do the quiz.

[-] hansolo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

So you're telling me the prompt "ChatGPT, take this image and make it look cute and like it was a watercolor painting, but with a very subtle but gargantuan amount of judgement" really worked?

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

This version of the meme doesn’t capture the contempt in her look. I feel less judged

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

I don't typically experience imposter syndrome.

However, it is my understanding that the majority of people I know seem to experience imposter syndrome (likely influenced by the fact that my social circle is mostly academics)

Thus I seem to be the odd one out in this respect, paradoxically causing me to feel like an imposter for not experiencing imposter syndrome.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] arin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm too dense to feel it, but my brother who is a thousand times more successful felt it

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 3 points 10 months ago

I'm not even good enough to be myself

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Now THIS is a proper shitpost

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

Man, as someone who dealt with that super hard at a job, this is a great way to make someone feel even worse. Bravo!

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!

[-] Akanes@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago
[-] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

This meme is talking about me and I don't like it🥲

[-] arin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
[-] mahi@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Wait, doesn't pretending to have imposter syndrome without strong reasons look hypocritical?

[-] Beebabe@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

6 years of college and 2 years of supervised fieldwork and I still get imposter syndrome.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'mma put an imposter in your imposter

[-] myslsl@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago
[-] supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Err yes, I think, maybe... fuck!
