Impostor phenomenon is a psychological experience where individuals feel they have been promoted or recognized for the wrong reasons, despite evidence of their competence; people with this tendency attribute their success to external factors like luck or timing rather than their own abilities, and paradoxically, as they become more qualified, their self-doubt intensifies, often leading to self-sabotaging behaviors.

They Promoted Me and I Felt Like a Fraud | Impostor PhenomenAdded:
I got promoted last year and immediately felt like they made a mistake. Like any day now someone would tap my shoulder and say sorry, wrong person. That's called the imposter phenomenon and I bet you do this too. You finish something hard and instead of owning it, you credit luck or timing or everyone else.
You shrink yourself before anyone else can. The more qualified you get, the louder that voice grows. If this hits, the next one is about self-sabotage.
