whats wrong with you? you got some sort of……..some sorta syndrome? you got a syndrome or something? youre tryna tell me youve got like, a syndrome
[goes to doctor]: whats wrong with me doc. tell me the ‘prognosis’
doctor: well, its looking as if you have some kind of syndrome
[thinking] hmm.. thats not good
i diagnose you with symptoms syndrome
sorry to say but it seems you’ve got problems disorder
okay this is gonna sound weird but bear with me for a second
a couple months ago my friend told me about something called “lesbian sheep syndrome.” when sheep mate, all the female sheep has to do is stand there and the male sheep will take the initiative. but when two female sheep want to bang (and yes, lesbian sheep exist) they just sidle up to each other and wait because neither of them know what to do
lesbian humans do the same fucking thing. as women we are conditioned not to seek out relationships because it’s the men’s job to pursue us. we are actively discouraged from participating in our own romance. so when two women like each other, there’s this weird stand off because neither of them know how to proceed. add our internalized homophobia to the mix and it’s nearly impossible for us to find relationships without going through a significant amount of mutual pining and emotional distress first
the whole point of this is i know it’s intimidating to talk to someone new, especially a pretty girl, but you’ve gotta make a move! you can’t be a lesbian sheep!
Oh my god

honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons
like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he’s at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite the laws against it and wanted to try and help someone out and relive their glory days, only to be straight up murdered like fuck that scene is just so fuckin intense
You: I wish Incredibles 2 took place years later instead of right after the first one
Me, an intellectual: I hope Incredibles 2 starts like 5 minuets before the end of the first one just so I can see how they try and animate Syndrome’s Jimmy Neutron hair with their fancy new animation tech
Fuck the old “stockholm syndrome” story of when she met the joker. Harleen Quinzel was going through the process of transitioning and felt rejected by everyone around her. She found an unhealthy form of acceptance with the joker and ran with it as a way to escape her dysphoria, becoming trapped in an abusive relationship.
She found Poison Ivy and discovered that there were others who would accept her for who she was and fell in love.
Sorry not sorry terfs and fuckboys
do u ever feel like you’ve accidentally tricked certain people into thinking you are smarter and have more potential than you actually do and do you ever think about how disappointed they’ll be when you inevitably crash and burn
Fun fact: Impostor Syndrome is ridiculously common among high-achievers, particularly women. If you identify with this post, odds are pretty good that you’re exactly as smart as people think you are, and the failure you’re afraid of isn’t inevitable at all.
and don’t forget this is one of the psychological barriers placed in by thousands years of patriarchy and male supremacy.
My computer science professor actually talked about this on the first day, it was really cool.
Fun brutal fact: in addition to the existence of imposter syndrome, being “twice exceptional” (also known as 2e) is also a thing. That means being intellectually gifted AND ALSO having a disability that affects your ability to succeed at study or work. Such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc etc etc. A lot of people believe that it’s not possible to be both, but it very much is.
Society tends to have very high expectations for how well gifted people will perform. Society tends to have low expectations for how well disabled people will perform. Society tends to attribute invisible disabilities, including mental illness, to a failure of willpower or effort or a bad attitude.
So if you read this post and went “no, but seriously, this is not just low self esteem on my part, people keep thinking I’m smart and then I keep crashing and burning and disappointing them and they can’t understand why I didn’t live up to their expectations, it happens again and again and when I tell someone how I feel and ask for help, they just tell me to stop being so hard on myself and that I’ll succeed if I have more self-confidence,” it is not just you.
(Also, one of the previous posts in this thread buried the lede a little. Imposter syndrome is ridiculously common in people from underrepresented groups in academia and other high pressure/high status fields, particularly women and people of colour. Maya Angelou did not only feel out of place because she was a woman.)
I know it took me a while after realizing I was gay to not have some weekly panic of “What if I’m not a Real Lesbian™???” Sometimes I’d think no one would believe me if I came out to them, or even that I wasn’t “allowed” to be gay.
I want LGBT folks to know that it’s 100% normal to struggle with those feelings. You can talk to other LGBT folks about those feelings and still have acceptance. And also I want you to know that the impostor syndrome doesn’t last forever; eventually you will feel comfortable with yourself.
