Impostor syndrome is a feeling of self-doubt that one's accomplishments or belonging to a group will be discovered as a fraud.
It is extremely common. I often have it. So do many other folks.

One of the common themes is that other people, the truly successful who "deserve" their accolades and success, are somehow different. The person who feels that they are an impostor is made to feel that they "don't belong" in that group.
