Op says under another comment they never did drills.

I did a student exchange in the summer of 1989 to the Soviet Union under a religious program. We stayed with host families in Leningrad and Moscow. For my particular host family, in Leningrad, the entire apartment was a kitchen, living room, parents' bedroom, and son's bedroom. Most of the others on the trip said this was huge compared to their families' accomodations. In Moscow, it was kitchen, entryway, and bedroom.

We figured that, even that far into perestroyka and glasnost, the Soviet government would want to show us citizens living in especially good conditions. To those of us coming from average, middle class American backgrounds around the country were slightly surprised at the small apartments were. How typical was this of Soviet life in those cities?

How would you say that Imposter Phenomenon is different from a generalized discomfort from being "outside your comfort zone"? It seems to me that if I am stretching myself, learning new skills, designing or deploying new technologies, then I am operating in an area I'm not comfortable in. So I wonder if I "don't belong". But wouldn't that be a natural reaction?

That's why I figure Imposter Phenomenon is the result of someone trying to be better at something and not arrogant enough to assume or pretend it's not difficult.

I would be interested in your thoughts, Dr. Sanchez. If I am mistaken, please do correct me. Thank you for doing this AMA.

I love that your responded to this. Good on ya!

Anyone can and should check her facts.

Your question is foolish. It's also possible that what she says is true but there are other sources that have truth too. Thus, not a "monopoly." or she could be wrong.

Fact check her. Everyone should know how and should be willing to do so, and be fact checked.
