I have pmt - which is partly where this is coming from. But not all of it.
For years I haven't felt that I'm very good at my job, despite being reasonably successful at it. Now I run my own business and I feel even worse. I feel as though I am pretending that I know what I'm doing, but that actually it's all a big lie.
Now when I've told this to friends/DH in the past, what I am told is that lots of people feel like this and usually people who feel like this are the most successful because they constantly underestimate themselves and therefore try harder.
But recently there've been several things that have brought home to me just how little I know about what I profess to know and I just feel crap. I am at the point of chucking it all in - except that what I do is probably (sadly) what I'm best at.
I feel like I need to harness what I'm good at and really understand what that is, and then try to sell that. But I just feel like such a big ignoramus that I can't figure that out.
God - this is garbled. If you've figured it all out, well done. Just needed to get it out.
