Hey!
I’m sure some of you are feeling Imposter Syndrome. Be it from your reviews here, or your proformance in other facets of life like work or hobbies.
I feel it too. Constantly. (Thank you ADHD) For example, in my job, I’ve been working the same type of work for about a decade. I’m considered the top worker according to supervisors and have a promotion lined up.
Yet, I still feel like I’m not doing enough. I curb it be looking at ouside reactions to my work. People ask me questions. They seek my advice on how to do things. Or even something simple like a ‘good job’ or a good reaction thats subtle.
Although if I mess up once, I feel like everything I’ve done right no longer matters.
I’m feeling it here too with reviews! Are my reviews good enough? Are my pictures? Is my writing creative enough? Am I posting enough? I can go on and on.
Here is my advice. If you feel like ANYTHING you are doing isn’t good enough, compare, contrast, and continue. I didn’t get to were I am at work without failure. I refered to others who knew more, did better, until I matched or surpassed them. Or I find that maybe my skills work for other things better and I specialize.
A comparison for review writing? Read other peoples reviews. Look at their formatting. Their pictures. Their word choice.
Maybe you are a better writer, or a better photographer, maybe you are a SEO wizard, maybe you are all of the above. But the great thing about Toy Chats is the community.
Utilize the community! Ask for help on specifics. Ask how or where people learned certain things! But remember to take advice and make it your own!
I wish you all the best luck in your future endeavors! And Happy Holidays to the community and the team!
