I just want to appreciate how the author used the sane "fear of not being good enough" instead of the idiotic "impostor syndrome" that everyone uses to mean the same.

What’s wrong with impostor syndrome? Perhaps overused term but that for a good reason, many people are battling the same insecurities while others are confident on hot air. Very few have a backing for being confident.

Because impostor syndrome was a term supposed to describe a medical phenomenon that proved not to exist. Around my parts we call that "bullshit".

And it was adopted to mean what we all know it means. The origin may be completely wrong but it got a meaning that is not too far off.

"Imposter syndrome" is just the term we have given to "fear of not being good enough". What is wrong with coming up with a term for that fear?

I don't agree with medicalization of normal human experience. It's not a syndrome if it happens to everyone and it's perfectly normal. It's also a way to justify being a pussy, which is a sentiment I don't condone under any circumstance.
