Imposter syndrome is real, dude 😭
I’m almost finished with my master’s degree, and I still question my knowledge every single day, considerably more than when I only had my bachelor’s degree in chemistry.
I recently learned about the Dunning-Kruger effect, and it changed my outlook on this feeling entirely. 👇
The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a type of cognitive bias where people with little expertise assume they have superior expertise. Which really just sums up the entire internet and social media tbh.
When you’re just starting out, you don’t know enough to realize what you’re missing. The deeper you go into higher education and research, the more you realize how many things you actually have no idea about and how much information is actually available to us.
