Individuals with impostorism incorrectly attribute their success to luck,\n\nor interpret it as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent than they perceive themselves to be. \n\nWhile early research focused on the prevalence among high-achieving women, impostor syndrome has been recognized to affect both men and women equally. \n\n## So how to deal abou it \n\n### 1.
