The main feeling I've struggled with in the past was that the market I was in had been monopolized by well-funded, well-advertised imposters.
I mean that strictly in the sense that a lot of startups these days are selling their product before it's even finished - I feel that by me actually taking the time to complete the product (instead of going around raising capital), that I'm at a disadvantage.
It's dangerous to legitimize this concept of 'imposter syndrome' - Some actual crooks might use it as an excuse and start to think that what they're doing is normal.
I think you may be misunderstanding "imposter syndrome".
From Wikipedia:
"Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud"."
