I do feel it sometimes in my work - I sometimes think "I am not a proper potter and I'll get found out". Kath Kidston famously said "When you're self-taught you always worry that you will be found out". If she feels it too, it's ok with me!! xCathy Danielhttp://cathydanielsblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281766033122528610.post-44523560171535989052015-05-14T09:25:34.705+01:002015-05-14T09:25:34.705+01:00Bimey, you have put a label on exactly how I feel ...Bimey, you have put a label on exactly how I feel sometime. i wondered how I was able to hold down my job when everyone else could so easily do what I do ( I am told that they couldn't) I think it may well be a woman thingCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049568808770731003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281766033122528610.post-9475449619255706512015-05-14T00:42:20.296+01:002015-05-14T00:42:20.296+01:00I'm glad you have found labeling your Imposter...I'm glad you have found labeling your Imposter Syndrome helpful - perhaps it should be tossed into the river with Whiney Voice?

Which is completely daft as I know I'm blinking good at what I do. I asked my husband once if he ever felt the same. It took me a good while to get through to him how I actually felt at times, he also thought I was being completely daft!
