Always feel that their work could be better and fixate on any flaws or mistakes. This often leads to a great deal of self-pressure and high amounts of anxiety.

Feeling like a fraud or a phony in your profession despite your education and training. People who suffer from this feel like their success is not merit but luck.

Even though they are often highly skilled, they underrate their own expertise.

Set extreme goals and are crushed when they don’t succeed on the first try. 

Seeking help is seen as a sign of weakness or incompetence, so self-worth is measured by productivity.

 Pushing themselves to work as hard as possible because they feel inadequate.
