Impostors
Impostors are individuals who deceive others by pretending to be someone they are not. This can occur in various contexts, such as in social situations, workplaces, or online platforms. Impostors often adopt false identities to gain trust, access resources, or manipulate others for personal gain.
The term is also associated with the Impostor Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as a fraud. This syndrome can affect anyone, regardless of their success or expertise, leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety about their perceived lack of competence.
