It is great to see that people are so confident in this community that they are willing to share stories like this.

I mean imagine you write something like this on Medium, you just end up getting harassed....

About the post topic: I wouldn't say that I have an anxiety problem with my work. But I definitely have to deal with imposter form time to time.

I think it just shows that you are a person that actually cares about the work that you do.

But you should remember that life is about more than your work. And that it is sometimes ok to not care about the opinion of others (there are always those that you cannot please).

At the very end, we are all humans and we fail at times. Look at Elon Musk and his SpaceX rockets. How many of these things exploded? Doesn't matter because after all he still succeeded.

So don't beat yourself too much if you made a mistake. Making mistakes is ok as long as you are supportive when others make mistakes too.
