This is s topic that’s oft overlooked and overshadowed by mental illness. I know many of you OTers fall victim to feeling like you are just luckily getting by in life. You aren’t smart, you aren’t athletic, you aren’t good looking, you aren’t even good at your job but somehow you’ve made a decent life and married out of your league. This thread is dedicated to you all, imposters

Thanks. I feel good knowing that my F250 makes people think I have a huge dick when actually it's like the plastic end of a shoelace.

it sucks you're joking about it because it's a very real thing.

Sounds like your wife is leaving you.










Based off this shitty thread, I don't blame her.

What I lack in smarts, I make up for in good looks and athleticism. Confidence and charisma are key. Sorry, not an imposter.

I wouldn't call it mental illness, by any stretch. But this is definitely how i view my life, and i'm totally okay with it. It makes me appreciate what i do have a lot more.
