How I deal with Imposter Syndrome 

Appreciate you sharing this bro. I'm a 31 year old language teacher looking to transition into IT and yours is the only tech channel I'm subscribed to. I really love how it's practical and straight to the point with no BS, it's super valuable.

No cuts, no edits, just pure thoughts and valuable thoughts at that, SmolJames keep doing what you do best and believe 😊👍

Your honesty is speaking truth to a lot of people’s true reality.

Mad respect for making this video bro. I’m experiencing this in my internship right now. You earned a sub. Looking forward to seeing how your channel grows!

Just have to say I absolutely love your channel! You have such a friendly demeanor and your videos/developer roadmap have been super helpful for me! I struggle with imposter syndrome and the constant feeling that "I need to learn one more thing before I can start applying" and then when I learn that thing, there's another "one thing" I need to learn that gets me stuck in this infinite loop. But your videos have given me so much more confidence in myself, so I am super grateful!!

Hey James, I appreciate the honest video on the subject and hearing your experience. I’m currently on the job hunt and definitely feeling this a lot these days. Your channel is great and deserves more attention. Thanks for all the work you put in mate!

Great mindset! So true, the grass always looks greener on the other side, but you never know the struggles of the other person. The solution is to focus on yourself and get 1% better every day.

Thanks for sharing. I empathize with you on this.

Thank you so much for being a person who is confident enough to speak about this on a public platform, your confidence, passion and strength are a continual inspiration. Thankyou, Smoljames you have a big place in my heart.

Wise words, especially about social media.

Appreciate you for uploading this James, just know that your content always helps and I always look forward to the next. Thanks for what you do to support upcoming developers like myself!

I find you to be inspiring! Just beginning to teach myself full stack development and you're videos have been the absolute most helpful! ❤

the video we all needed!!!

James, I really appreciate this video!! 🎉 i am definitely dealing with imposter syndrome…..

Didn't know you had ADHD. Thanks for sharing this. All the more reason to keep following you. Are you on any medications to help you? Or was CBT alone was useful to manage it?

great video

How do you record and edit your videos?

Hey bro off topic but what mic do you use?

What a nice video man, I really appreciate this and the work you’re doing. I am getting startred and I felt this syndrome but I know better now. Our prophet Mohamed said: “Do not look for those above you but look for those below” this the essence of appreciation for what you have achieved and always to be grateful. Thanks man ❤

🥰❤

also why u deleted ur gym progression videos, u look quite shredded and buff even tho u keep wearing those wide shorts to hide it 🙃🙃

i don't wonna sound offensive james , but what's wrong with ur skin it looks burned or something!

This is my fave video of yours ever @smoljames

Thank you for this video and talking about imposter syndrome. I'm all too familiar with it, unfortunately. 🫣 I'm currently trying to transition from digital marketing to front-end development also through self-learning. I've just recently got an internship opportunity in development and was seriously considering not going for it, because of an intense feeling of imposter syndrome. Rationally I know it comes from low self-esteem (due to lack of xp in the field) and my brain being scared of the unfamiliar and trying to protect me, so I try to explain to myself internally that it will be alright. I heard a quote recently which helps a little: "I will endure the time when I'm a beginner and awkward because beginners do become experts eventually."
