I feel like avid Social media users are more likely to feel imposter syndrome because they're accustomed to curating their image. If you're broadcasting a specific or hyper-competent image to coworkers, there's always going to be a risk that someone will call out the fact that what you say you are (or can do) and what you actually are (or can actually do) are not in alignment.



I'd intuit you're probably right. One problem when people are too honest in public though is that negativity is perceived more than its opposite. Having a bad quality can invalidate your good ones sadly.
