Some of the effects include fear of being revealed as a fraud and believing you&#8217;re not worthy of your achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover more about these effects of impostor syndrome to see if you have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-impostor-syndrome-and-other-self-confidence-struggles-affect-women\"><strong>How Impostor Syndrome and Other Self-Confidence Struggles Affect Women<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The effects of impostor syndrome can manifest in several ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You may have trouble believing that you deserve the accolades you receive.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may feel like you\u2019re a fraud, and you\u2019ve tricked everyone into believing that you\u2019re meant to be in your current position.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You might fear that one day, the people around you will figure out that you\u2019re not qualified to be where you are, and everything will fall apart when this happens.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alainapercival\/2022\/06\/15\/reframe-your-impostor-syndrome-as-a-superpower\/?sh=74f4e9871d1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reframing can help you deal with the feeling that you\u2019re a fraud.<\/a> For instance, feeling out of your depth means you have room to grow, which is a good thing. Nobody knows everything, and if you no longer have growth opportunities, it\u2019s probably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/when-its-time-to-move-on\/\">time to move on<\/a> to something more challenging. Additionally, some experts argue that <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2021\/04\/7-pieces-of-bad-career-advice-women-should-ignore#:~:text=number%20of%20advice%20columns%20are%20devoted,confidence%20to%20the%20point%20that%20you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overconfidence is just as bad as a lack of confidence<\/a>\u2014if your confidence in yourself exceeds your competence, you\u2019ll never become the best you can be. Being honest about your limitations with yourself and others can show you\u2019re humble and willing to learn.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roedel cites research that suggests impostor syndrome affects more women than men. Many women in executive positions report feelings of impostor syndrome and state that they never expected to be as successful as they are. This contributes to a general lack of confidence in their performance at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Women experience impostor syndrome more frequently because they generally face <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/imposter-syndrome-gender-neutral-phenomenon-women-only-diane-shawe#:~:text=Women%20tend%20to%20suffer%20more,of%20self%2Ddoubt%20and%20inadequacy.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more stereotyping and social expectations.<\/a> Additionally, men typically are picked for leadership roles more often, reinforcing women\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/overcoming-self-doubt\/\">self-doubt<\/a>, which has been created by years of exposure to bias and discrimination. To help prevent this, organizations must strive to create an environment of inclusivity and equal opportunity.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Struggles with self-confidence may manifest in many other ways that hinder women\u2019s professional success. For instance, <strong>low self-confidence often leads to perfectionism<\/strong>, which then leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/micromanagement-in-the-workplace\/\">micromanagement<\/a> and, consequently, dampens team spirit<strong>.<\/strong> (Shortform note: According to Bren\u00e9 Brown in <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-gifts-of-imperfection\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>The Gifts of Imperfection<\/em><\/a>, perfectionism stems from a desire to control people\u2019s perceptions of you. It\u2019s an attempt to gain approval and acceptance from others by hiding your flaws and projecting the image of being perfect. Because you don\u2019t have confidence in yourself, you seek <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stop-seeking-validation\/\">validation from others<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women are less likely to advocate for raises or apply for jobs unless they know for sure that their efforts will be successful. Likewise, women often pass the credit on to someone else when they do well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some research shows that women typically apply for jobs only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alainapercival\/2022\/06\/15\/reframe-your-impostor-syndrome-as-a-superpower\/?sh=74f4e9871d1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications.<\/a> In contrast, men generally apply when they meet 60% of the criteria. Additionally, women are 26% less likely to request a job referral. However, other research contradicts Roedel\u2019s statement about raises, suggesting that <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/06\/research-women-ask-for-raises-as-often-as-men-but-are-less-likely-to-get-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women are just as likely to ask for raises<\/a> as men. Despite this, they\u2019re 5% less likely to get one after requesting it. Finally, other studies indicate that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/sexes\/archive\/2013\/06\/when-women-dont-take-credit-for-their-own-good-work\/276555\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women tend to not take credit when they\u2019re working with a group that includes men,<\/a> but they do take credit for their accomplishments when they\u2019re working exclusively with other women.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you doubt yourself a lot at work?
