    @PHuenermund I used to redo the same thing over and over while doing calculus, because I was afraid to make a mistake I had to solve a small math problem today, and when this old habit what about to kickstart I just sat and considered if I really needed to redo this specific calculus

      @PHuenermund First time I ever did that, taking the time to really assess the likelihood I did a mistake And then it clicked: I realized a couple of months ago I had a severe impostor syndrome for year, and everything made sense

        @PHuenermund I wasn’t redoing my calculus because I suspected a mistake was there, but because I was afraid somebody would "find the truth" that I’m not good at math or something I’m no mathematician, but I can do a decent job (and probably better now that I won’t waste my time…
