I am a big fan of linguistics, it’s a topic that has fascinated since I was young, I love watching videos on them, learning about niche topics within the field of linguistics, Im even finishing my BA in English society and languages so I can pursue a masters in Lnguistcs, it is truly my passion. So why is it that whenever I realize I’m not as good as I want to be that I feel like an imposter? I feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy it because I’m not good enough as the other people I see speaking about it, deep down I know it’s silly and I try to push it off but it always seems to float up to mind and it kind of haunts me a little.
I probably have some undiagnosed learning disability as well which often makes me feel even worse that I can’t always stick to reading a book on linguistics and my mind goes to “if you can’t enjoy this how can you claim you love it?”
I would love some advice or even just some words to help me understand this.
Thank you, have a good say <3
