I also suffer from imposter syndrome, both in dev and my freelance copy editing side gig.
It's funny... I've been freelancing for over three years now and have not had a single client leave me a bad review. I get referrals and am always told how talented I am at what I do... And yet every single time I receive a compliment, I can't help but revisit the document I was editing and scan it one more time because that part of my mind insists that I must've missed something or slipped up somewhere.
I wonder if the biggest reason for imposter syndrome really is social media. It's the one thing that's become more prominent over the past decade; meanwhile, we're hearing more and more about people who are affected personally and professionally by imposter syndrome.
