Impostor syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome, is a psychological experience that causes people to doubt their skills and successes. It's characterized by a persistent feeling of inadequacy and the belief that success is undeserved, even when evidence suggests otherwise. People with impostor syndrome may attribute their accomplishments to luck or external factors, and fear being exposed as a fraud.

Guilt stemming from one's upbringing, often referred to as a "guilt complex," can manifest as lingering feelings of responsibility or wrong-doing. This can arise from childhood experiences where individuals were made to feel guilty or responsible for problems, or where they were raised in an environment where they were not emotionally supported. The effects of such upbringing can include low self-esteem, difficulty setting boundaries, and an inability to fully enjoy relationships. 

Characteristics of Guilt Upbringing:
Feeling of being constantly wrong:
Individuals may constantly feel as if they are doing something wrong, even in situations where they are not. 
Difficulty setting boundaries:
Guilt can prevent individuals from setting appropriate boundaries, especially when it comes to interacting with parents or others. 
Low self-esteem and poor self-image:
Children with complex trauma histories may develop low self-esteem and a poor self-image. 
Difficulty enjoying relationships:
Guilt can make it difficult to fully enjoy relationships, as individuals may constantly worry about being judged or failing to meet expectations.
