i feel like my imposter syndrome in some areas comes from inherently understanding facets of psychology and sociology that people usually learn through the education system
inherent understanding doesnt mean i dont have things to learn. but does it mean im more ignorant than someone with a degree in a humanistic field?
do i have to subjugate my ideas to those who've earned a socially-endorsed testimony to their knowledge? do i have to go back to school to feel competent in ideas i already have?
i don't have that hunger for scientific validation of my emotions anymore. i dont need someone else to put a label on my behaviors to justify them. i was a mental hypochondriac, and i brought myself unnecessarry suffering searching for someone elses words to describe myself.
i can always learn from someone else, and thats comforting. but i am still entangled with this feeling that i need proof of understanding, proof of competence, justification for my knowing. maybe ill get it one day. maybe ill give myself permission to let it exist without reason.
