Imposter Syndrome

If you've never heard of it, it's the thought that you're just winging it and you're going to be found out sooner or later that you're just pretending to know what you're doing. The fact is, unlike a real imposter, it's your mind playing tricks on you. Have you ever had a moment of self-doubt? That's normal!

Life is never straightforward, and there is always a first time. Just imagine how boring life would be if everything was routine all the time.

Always be aware of your own limitations. Know what you know, know what you don't know, and know what to do if you don't know. A challenge is only a problem to be solved.

So, reader, I am asking for your stories. Have you ever thought to yourself, "I'm in way over my head?" Was it real or were you just imagining it? Have you ever pretended to be more of an expert than you really are? Have you ever had people question your competence despite your qualifications?

As always, please keep it civil and relevant. I promise I will refrain from commenting on your experience, but I might be curious enough to ask questions to better understand your story.
