Imposter syndrome is a phenomenon well studied by psychologists. It is predominant in people with exceptional skills, and also very common in women. It can occur for a variety of reasons, but two factors seem to be very important: family dynamics and the pressure to perform at work. Imposter syndrome can have far-reaching consequences not only for the sufferer, but also for those around him or her. When the person suffering from impostor syndrome finds themselves in a supportive environment, they can more easily overcome their feelings and give of their best.

We all construct identities according to situations. Our study examines identity construction in liminal contexts, taking the case of daily press journalists on Twitter. It shows that journalists play with their identities, creating a personality at the intersection of their professional and personal identities. Thus, identity construction in a liminal context can be enjoyable as long as it is voluntary and autonomous.
