I could probably just chatgpt this but I’d prefer to ask you. Is there biblical commentary on feeling imposter syndrome with your friends and partners? If not I’d at least like to hear Godly advice about it.

I consistently feel inadequate and that leaks into how I view my friendship and romantic interests. I am virtually unable to see how people could possibly like me for me. When women like me I can’t help but feel like it is just them projecting their fantasies or just being infatuated. With my buddies or hg’s I can feel disliked because of often jokes or criticism directed towards me.

For clarity I actually have a healthy amount of friends and people that I feel comfortable being around often. I think it is more the idea that if someone really dig deep into my soul they wouldn’t really be interested in me. Because of this feeling there is always a looming sense of imposter syndrome for me with my friends and romantic interests.

It is easy to say that when you rely on Christ as the one to truly know me that is when I could find peace, but what does that actually look like? I struggle with addiction and perpetual sin. I also struggle with dwelling on sinful thoughts. Maybe I more diagnosing myself here, but idk. Lowkey been in addiction for 10 years now. Just say something that isn’t cliche please.
