    i have been called and told many things, dan saya sangat menyadarinya ada di diriku sendiri sejak lama, tapi saya baru mengenal istilah resminya belakangan ini, that is imposter syndrom. kalo ngebaca mengenai gejala2nya, well, rasanya it describes me very well. sepertinya saya termasuk penderita berat sindrom ini
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome

    selama ini, ada yang mengatakan:
    - im being too hard on myself, tapi benarkah?
    - itu hanya being humble. tapi, benarkah?
    - and on somewhat related note pada point kedua, karena faktor culture/ras (red: being an asian) berperan dalam pola pikir seperti itu. karena humility adalah sala satu virtue dalam budaya kita. tapi, benarkah?
    - karena keminderan dari childhood experiences, and this is coming from my own parent who said that. yah, memang growing up i did have some big time insecurities (who doesnt?). tapi, benarkah?

    i dont know. i think it's a combination of multiple things. mungkin pula saya sangat berhati2 dalam mengklaim apa yang saya mampu dan apa yang saya tidak mampu, karena saya mengambil penanggungjawaban atas klaim apapun yang kupilih dengan serius, sehingga mungkin saya lebih mempunyai tendency to the latter untuk amannya? or genuinely believe saya memang *belum* mampu? but, is it a bad thing? for genuinely being honest? saya menyadari hal ini memang tidak membantu dalam beberapa aspek hidup, terutama professionally. dan yah, maybe i am discounting myself a tad bit more than i should, because looking at it on printed paper, i know i aint that bad. and yea i know it's paradoxical. and i know i'm still struggling with it to this day. however, you can't help feeling and thinking the way you do, especially if it is something you honestly believe in. is it not *just* to be honest to yourself?

    i dont even know what's the root of it. and i dont even know if there is a cure per se. or is it even something to be cured?


    just a thought
