Yep, that's the trick. Not everyone is a blagger, but most people are!

I'd say 5% or less of people I've met are actually excelling in their lives/careers, 90% of people I know are just doing the bare minimum or are just lucky enough to scrape by and the remaining 5% are the people that don't give a fuck.

Genetically, we are cavemen, trying to navigate our lives through a modern society that has extremely little resemblance to the savannah that we evolved on, don't let imposter syndrome get you down!

Tradespeople do. Imposter syndrome seems to mostly be a white collar phenomenon. Every person on my team knows how to do their job adequately, and they all excell in at least one aspect. It's like that at most facilities/factories/plants/shops.

People who can't get the hang of it tend to get drummed out early.
