Any INFJs feel like they are impostors in their job?
I've noticed a pattern of finding it easy to impress in the interview phase and get the job, but once I'm in, that's when things start to go downhill.
The impression I gave at first was fake and I quickly become tired and overstimulated by the environment.
My managers and coworkers begin to wonder what's wrong with me or if something is wrong, but I was just faking it all along.
After all the interview was a small group of people or even one on one and that's where we excel right?
Once I'm in the job it's like a timer starts and it's only a question of time before I get "discovered". I lose motivation, burn out quickly. It's like I can't keep up the facade for more than six months and that's where I mostly crumble and turn from the perfect new hire into the person that needs to be monitored and out on a PIP.
It's been so much work to beat this feeling of not being the right person for the job I'm in. Mostly involves overcoming my technical deficits and self discipline but also just feeling less like an alien or a stranger at the workplace, because oftentimes my work wasn't actually the problem.
It's so annoying and I don't know how to break this pattern. Anyone have experience with this?
