That guy's a bitch.

On the other hand, if you still feel the same way after 8 years in a job, is it still imposter syndrome or just verification of incompetence?

Chronic self esteem issues

Maybe toxic working conditions too.

More than likely

I dislike the "So in other words you mean that " technique used in a conversation. Especially if it's not in a form of a question but rather a statement.

"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you mean that ?"
A nicer way to put it, in my opinion 🤗 Takes more of the blaming out of the reply, keeping it a bit more neutral ❤

.

Don't get me wrong - sometimes it is needed to assess negative things people do.
But it can be done in a more polite way.
No need to be more harsh than what a situation/conversation really needs.

Yeah you set that snarky orange dinosaur straight!

Heh. A comic is one thing, but they can be starting points for a comment or lesson well done, received and learned ❤

But it is tho. Being an actual adult is taking care of yourself and maximizing what you can do and how to do it. How best to support onesself. Not suffering for the sake of suffering and then insisting everyone else suffer as well.
