And I still feel really small and incapable compared to, well, just about all the people I read.
I was gonna make this a whole big post but then I realized it’d just be a restatement of my other one. What can I say? I’m tired.
I can SO relate to this. I often feel like everyone else knows what they’re doing, and I’m just faking it and they’ll all find out eventually. It has a lot in common with imposter syndrome, although most of “everyone else” isn’t men—though some of it is disability-related, since throughout my childhood adults were like: “But you can [do Skill A]! You should obviously be able to [do Skill B, which isn’t related to Skill A at all]! Therefore, you are a faker!”
FWIW, while I love everything you say, the push to start following you was your awesome questions for Dorian :D (i.e. I think you’re cool because you’re you—not just because you do a particular kind of work).
