I meant dropping weights as an example of injury, plenty of ways to hurt yourself around heavy objects.. Which is fair but you might as well include people doing dumb things on the pool deck then  Also, technique related injuries, so if you're in competitive swimming you at least have someone coaching you on technique and giving feedback. This is hard for the casual just showing up to the Y by themselves. I voted Average since I'm Silver V with maybe 35 ranked games in my life. But I get below Rank 10 in Hearthstone every season! Dattebayo! | ||

Close, but I'm talking about something more along the lines of Imposter Syndrome. | ||

How's it dunning kruger when we have matchmaking ranks that show our comparative strength o.0 And this is a gaming forum, remember that the average includes all the 8 year olds, casuals etc who play, then look at some of the people here :p On October 08 2015 05:55 Zdrastochye wrote: Is that the one where Ivy league students have higher suicide rates because they feel like they don't belong at their prestigious school? Never heard of it in that sense :o I thought most people who burn out/have breakdowns in elite schools are because they're underperforming and can't cope with it, not the opposite | ||

Which is irrelevant to Seuss's point. Despite where people think they should be, matchmaking, all things considered, is a fairly accurate indicator of current skill. Many people here are ~gold+, so ignoring what they think their skill level should be, most people posting in this forum are objectively above average skill (in League). | ||

Yeah, but i thought imposter syndrome was if they kept outperforming everyone, but weren't able to accept that they were better. Isn't imposter more about thinking you're a lot worse then you are, and not being able to correlate your actual achievements to your internal sense of self? | ||

Isn't imposter more about thinking you're a lot worse then you are, and not being able to correlate your actual achievements to your internal sense of self? Impostor syndrome (also spelled imposter syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a term coined in the 1970's by psychologists and researchers to informally describe people who are unable to internalize their accomplishments. Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved. Proof of success is dismissed as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and competent than they believe themselves to be. Notably, impostor syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving women,[1] although both genders are affected in equal numbers.[2] Seems I'm talking about something else. | ||

Broadly speaking it describes any circumstance wherein a successful person fails to accept their accomplishments as valid/meaningful and thus feels like an impostor. It's essentially the other end of the spectrum from Dunning-Kruger. Whereas the one asserts that many incompetent people are unable to even perceive their own incompetence, the other essentially asserts that many competent people are unable to accept their own competence. | ||

The other thing is more of the big fish small pond -> regular fish big bond effect. Or you can think of it as you're the star plat player on your ranked5's team with your friends, but then you join your other friend's ranked5's team and they're all diamond. Basically opposite of Dunning-Krueger. | ||

And yet most people in here's definition of good at league is at least plat+. Granted, good isn't average, but the point still stands. | ||

Dunning-Kruger also has a aspect to it where competent people tend to undervalue their talent because they are able to self critique more properly. It isn't all bad people thinking they're better. | ||

good introduction to dunning kruger + Show Spoiler + plugging this guy in because he's done some amazing fucking work, mainly focusing on psychological manipulation. Extremely highly reccomended. Anyone else heard of him before (or his brother, Qualiasoup)? | ||

. Swimming form scares me a lot more. Weight form is hard sure but I'm doing it in an environment that I'm used to. Flopping around in water trying to get form right just sounds horrible.
