I’m blessed to live and work with the smartest people I know. I’ve been at it for many years. In fact, I’m quite certain some of them are among the smartest people on the planet. I cherish the knowledge and support they freely share yet I frequently wonder why they tolerate me in their midst.  I’ve experienced Imposter Syndrome from an early age, and I’m still driven to tears when I think about it. Why do I deserve to be in the midst of the greatness I’ve surrounded myself with? It’s worse when I get credit, as I feel like I’ll surely be figured out as the fraud now that everyone’s looking.

I’ll just leave this here as I suspect there are many others around me who have this affliction. If nothing else, I’m right there with you—for real.
