So it does have a name

I did not realize there was an actual name for it.

are you suffering from this? you think your successes are undeserved?

try being a failure once in a while, i guess

used to. earlier in my graduate career. though it still comes and goes. the curious thing for me is its prevalence in women and not men. some sort of entitlement issues maybe? (men: i worked hard therefore i deserve this success; women: my working hard doesn't make a difference because i'm still not smart enough)? what do you think?

and grad school (though i speak for science only) consists of a few successes sprinkled around a lot of failure so you could say i've tried that too :)
