Impostor syndrome?


     I never paid much attention to Seven of Swords until today. On a popular Tarot site, the interpretations include impostor syndrome. I also never identified with this phenomenon. But it's time to know more.


Wikipedia says: " Impostor Syndrome is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments or talents and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".
..............

The feeling of being a fraud that surfaces in impostor phenomenon is not uncommon. It has been estimated that nearly 70% of individuals will experience signs and symptoms of impostor phenomenon at least once in their life."

I haven't realized until now how many times I have actually FELT that!

My question was purely about me.
The card came off reversed...
So in this context, is the man's grin coming from a successful self-deceit? Or is it the self happily revealing this deceit??

I am rooting for the latter! 😬😛
