Practices that may help

1. Self-Verification Theory, Made Practical
   Self-verification theory holds that people actively seek feedback confirming their existing self-concept — even if that concept is negative — because predictability feels safer than accurate praise that destabilizes who they think they are. Changing requires more than new information; it requires updating the self-concept itself.
2. Name the imposter pattern
   Recognize the feeling as a known, common pattern rather than the truth about you.
