Over half of women have experienced imposter syndrome – and say it gets in the way of romantic relationships (24%), making new friends (22%), and even parenting (18%).
A poll of 4,000 adults found that almost two-thirds of women (62%) claim to have hardly ever felt true confidence in their lives, as 53% struggle with unwarranted feelings of self-doubt, incompetence, and being underqualified.
For three-quarters of women (72%), these feelings are most likely to occur in the workplace, while 29% experience this during education, or even while out with friends.
