I AM HAVING MAJOR IMPOSTOR SYNDROME REGARDING THE FAT STUDIES CONFERENCE. WHO THE SHIT AM I? WHY AM I GIVING A TALK ABOUT BEING A FAT BLOGGER? EXACTLY HOW IS THIS RELEVANT? WILL THE AUDIENCE POLITELY IGNORE THE SWEAT I PREDICT WILL BE STREAMING DOWN MY FACE? WILL ANYONE EVEN TURN UP TO MY PANEL*?
* THEY SHOULD, THE TITLE OF THE PANEL IS “TELLING FAT STORIES”.
AHH you cant have this fear because that means i need to have this fear times 1000. which i do but thats beside the point because i really want to come to your presentation and i go so red its verging on purple so sweat is much preferred.
i definitely get the imposter feeling just sitting in on a seminar SO I”M PRETTY FUCKED FOR THE CONFERENCE.
I think we should make an off-conference panel called WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE OH GOD. I bet lots of people attend and we can teach each other our nervous coping skills! I tend to shake my hands a lot and do knees-ups while making incomprehensible sounds.
