I agree with bookgurl. I've been told I'm brilliant & talented & versatile & on & on. And you know, I really think so too. But I'm TERRIFIED when ever I start a new job or project that is going to be judged by others. If it's just me that wants to do something, I can do it to my satisfaction, but if someone else is going to oversee what I do, I always think it won't meet their criteria. I always think I'm going to goof up along the way. I'm convinced that I won't meet the high expectations others feel I can do. It's not so much lack of confidence or poor self-esteem for me. I'm simply scared that others will be disappointed in what I do & wonder why they ever hired me.
It's that uncertainty, lack of sureness, & anxiety of not being as good as you hoped for.
