Brief description: The Impostor Syndrome describes the psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their abilities despite objective achievements and often attribute their success to external factors or luck. The fear of not being capable or simply not good enough undermines confidence and hinders professional advancement. Affected individuals tend to hold back, refrain from applying for challenging positions, and often feel stressed and dissatisfied in their careers.
