Please expand on this. It seems as though imposter syndrome functions quite differently in the sense that it's fuelled by doubt rather than certitude i.e Imposter syndrome results from a divergence between our imagined identity and the way we're perceived, while audience capture results from the convergence of our identity and the way we're perceived.
I don't believe imposter syndrome is a specific conditionтАФcertainly it's not recognized as such in the DSM. It seems to me that imposter syndrome is the name given to a common set of experiences that people report, a loose grouping of symptoms that people may feel for different reasons, audience capture being but one of them.
The core similarity I see between audience capture and imposter syndrome is that they both involve feelings of inadequacy due to the perception that one is not living up to the expectations of others. In this sense I believe that both audience capture and imposter syndrome are fuelled mostly by doubt.
They also fuel each other. When one becomes audience captured, they're pressured to live up to other people's ideals of them, and if they fail, they may begin to feel like an imposter.
Conversely, if one begins to feel like an imposter, a possible solution is to end the doubt by becoming more like the person your audience wants you to be...
Very interesting. There are probably several paths to AC, the one you've highlighted stems from feelings of inadequacy, and there the overlap with IS is clear, but I think there's a path from the other end of the self-esteem spectrum.
Individuals prone to narcissistic personality disorder (which itself could emerge from feelings of inadequacy) may be prone to AC because the internet enables them to build a cohesive identity - I suspect this underpins the correlation between contrarianism and AC. Until such a person develops an online community that reinforces their sense of self, they experience significant cognitive dissonance due the mismatch between their identity and their status.
It is ultimately far more comfortable to think the world broken than to examine all the ways in which one may be horribly mistaken.
Do you think the narcissist personality types is increasing over time, increasing percentage wise? or those people who are more inclined have always been that way & itтАЩs just talked about a lot more now?
I do believe that I am less prone to narcissism because I had such low self esteem growing up.
Do you think those same тАШkidsтАЩ who тАШbulliedтАЩ me all through primary school (mainly it was boys, not so much girls) are those types to strongly lead to narcissism?
I donтАЩt wish to attract these types of people they can read my trustworthiness and honesty a mile away & uhhhhh always leads to being treated like less then!
But thatтАЩs what I had for 8 years of my primary school life & so hard to change! ЁЯШй
Sure, audience capture leads to all the main symptoms of imposter syndrome. Well spotted!
