[QUOTE="LlamaLaw, post: 91878, member: 16031"] It's entirely natural even though it can be very debilitating. I've certainly felt it often, and I think there are a couple of ways to make it more manageable. The first is that it's surprisingly common, particularly in professional environments where there are often a lot of high achievers (which includes you!). That doesn't necessarily make it go away, but it helps put it into context. The second is that it's the result of your hard work and success. Some people will always be brimming with confidence, but for most people that confidence doesn't come naturally or constantly. Ultimately though you are where you are because you earned it, not because of luck or something else. The imposter syndrome is because you're successful and you want to continue to succeed. When it's feeling acute, it's an opportunity to take a step back and reflect on the longer term perspective of your efforts and not the short term feeling of doubt. [/QUOTE]
