Thank you for your newsletter. Imposter syndrome is something I have everyone I put a photo up on Instagram. I think it’s not as good as the professional people that I’m never going to look professional. But I keep on uploading.
I tried to click through for the competition but it didn’t go to where I needed to write. Am I doing something silly ?
Thank you. Yes o only just got vsbkbyo making YouTube videos after a 2 year hiatus. I knew my videos didn’t look professional so I stopped filming. A few weeks ago I got back to it thought my video was great and then I got feedback from a friend that the lighting and sound was terrible. Many said it wasn’t terrible but I tried to remedy the sound and light in the next video and is it actually looks terrible so instead of continuing weekly filming I’m taking a break. I hope the break won’t be too long this time. I don’t mind appearing a fool on film I quite like that but I do also like to look professional from the tech side which I never do. Learning to stay centred when I get that sort of negative feedback is the learning for me here.
Just remember to be as kind to yourself as you would be to someone you love, including in how you speak to and about yourself. I have a feeling you could be kinder to yourself (and we all could).
Thanks for sharing your experience! as always an insightful article. I don't think I've made connections through photography lol I wouldn't call a connection when there's a one way communication. I did a little experiment with the people I talk with on Instagram to see if there was a true connection. I stopped sending messages to those people that I usually chat with to see if they only DM me because I DM them, and I found out there's no connection lol. It's been days since I haven't DM people and I haven't received any DM from them neither. Usually the people who like my stories and photos are my relatives lol.
I would propose questioning if this experiment might be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not saying it is for certain, but it might be good to consider.
Ah cool very interesting, did not know what self-fulfilling prophecy was. There’s a whole set of articles on self-fulfilling prophecy at science direct website. The experiment wasn’t geared towards proving a self-fulfilling prophecy. But I did wanted to see who would DM without me DMing first, also some people just leave me on read status lol. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback!

And I do get you on doubting yourself, I have a feeling that all of us are like this, and afraid of expressing our insecurities.
