Imposter syndrome

A condition made up mostly by lazy Gen Z’ers, especially vloggers who do nothing all day but drink cold brew and eat avocado toast, to help them explain why they feel like a failure in life while everyone around them is succeeding

My life sucks. It must be imposter syndrome. Where’s my Starby’s?

Imposter Objectivity Bias

The cognitive trap where someone believes they are being perfectly objective precisely because they are aware of their own flaws and limitations. It's the inverse of regular bias: instead of thinking "I'm right because I'm rational," the Imposter Objectivist thinks "I'm right because I know I might be wrong, therefore my constant self-doubt makes me more objective than you." This creates a smug meta-bias where humility becomes a shield against criticism. They wave their acknowledged limitations like a magic wand, as if admitting you could be biased means you automatically aren't.

"I'm not biased, I constantly question my own assumptions!" he said, while refusing to consider a single opposing viewpoint. That's Imposter Objectivity Bias—using the performance of self-doubt to avoid actual self-examination.
