TAKEAWAYS
Humans are wired to seek safety and security — a contributing factor to feeling like an imposter.

We should stop calling it a "syndrome," which implies there's something abnormal or wrong with us. 

A better term: Imposterism.

The Spotlight Effect explains that people care far less about your Imposterism than you do (we're all focused on ourselves).

Stoicism helps us understand that our imposter feeling stems from artificial feelings, not facts.

Be kind to yourself, always realizing you're a beautiful work-in-progress (Imposterism is part of character development).
