Oh yes. The #ImposterSyndrome is real - and it affects more than just one's day-job.
My own early days in #HamRadio were full of much fear and #SelfLoathing with regard to sounding like I wasn't ham-enough.
Of course, this is reinforced by on-air ridicule from old white men with small penises and huge egos.
Luckily, I did find some very nice folks... and they were the ones who spoke plainly (& kindly). Generous with their knowledge & in-person assistance.
