Such a great musing with research here. I feel this a lot! I was just talking about a job with a friend yesterday that I thought was currently out of reach and she said, 'You know a guy would just go for it.' So one way to combat this is by questioning yourself - or allowing your friends to - by saying, 'Would a guy do this?' It's not the only answer but it might help.
Really enjoyed this follow up and the original. I think that you could be right what there are not as many men who admit to imposter syndrome.
Thanks, I think it's likely to be more common than we think.

That's so interesting! Thank you for sharing that (and totally go for the job if it interests you!! :)
Goodness. I relate to all of this. Thank you for the follow up. I'm endlessly fascinated why we're all plagued by IS. xoxo
Thanks, Brooke! I know exactly what you mean; it's crazy to think that it even plagues the iconic writers, too.
