You studied, prepared, worked harder than anyone could have asked. And then you sat in the room where all of that was supposed to feel like evidence - and instead, you felt the fear. The sense that it's only a matter of time before people realize you don't belong here.
This is imposter syndrome. Experienced by up to 70% of people at some point in their lives - and especially common among high achievers.
