Does the definition of imposter syndrome include the awareness that one should feel better about one's accomplishments? It seems ironic to self-diagnose imposter syndrome because that is internalizing your accomplishments - which is the precise antithesis of the Wikipedia definition:

> individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments [and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud".]

I've made a lot of progress since I realized that I potentially do not have imposter syndrome and instead have self-esteem problems.
