Exactly!!. It's a tulips' field. Yellow tulips and one red.
That red tulip is a tulip like the yellow tulips. ok, let's imagine for a moment. The red tulip feels different from other yellow tulips. It's obviously red, but it feels like it's not a tulip. However, It grew up successfully and is the tallest of all. It feels like a fraud, like an impostor. That's the impostor syndrome. Sometimes we don't talk about our feelings and we never talk about those that make us feel uncomfortable. We are all learning English right now. So it is normal that we often feel a bit of an idiot and think that you our language skills are terrible. That feeling is high when we talk to a native speaker, and we freeze up or don't speak fluently. We tend to compare apples with pears. and we forget the successes we have had in getting to this point. An important point is when we admit our mistakes it is because we have a high level of language. In conclusion my classmates. Recognize your symptoms Identify your strengths Talk in 3rd person (You can do it!!) Challenge negative thoughts Measure your progress.
