Impostor syndrome, "also known as the impostor phenomenon, is a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, despite evidence of their competence. It's not a formal diagnosis, but a common experience, especially among high-achievers, where success is often attributed to external factors like luck rather than their own abilities."[1]
"The Jonah Complex and Imposter Syndrome, while both related to self-doubt and potential limitations, differ in their core focus. The Jonah Complex, stemming from the biblical story, is a fear of one's own potential and the responsibilities that come with it. Imposter Syndrome, on the other hand, is the persistent feeling of being a fraud despite evidence of one's competence. Essentially, the Jonah Complex is about avoiding success and growth, while Imposter Syndrome is about doubting the legitimacy of one's achievements." - Jonah complex vs. imposter syndrome
