Karen Gillan on experiencing imposter syndrome and how she’s learned to deal with it: ‘I invite all of the anxiety in’
Karen Gillan has been a part of the Marvel Universe since she first appeared as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy back in 2014. But even after years in the spotlight, the actress struggles with impostor syndrome and explains that she's finally learning to face that anxiety.
"It's been easier to ignore my body than it has been to confront the situation," she told Women's Health. "I've repressed the feeling instead of taking it seriously and listening to my body. And I'm just now turning that around."
Although the 34-year-old said that "some days I don't feel anxious at all," she explained that on days when she experiences self-doubt, it can feel impossible to do her job.
