Resolved Question

I want to know if anyone else feels like an imposter?

i sit at the office and feel like i dont belong there, like i'm inferior to everyone else, even though i have the education too and know i can do the job just as well as they can. also, i often feel like while everyone else is actually living life, i'm merely going through the motions (and e-motions) like i'm only pretending or play-acting. what is this strange feeling and has anyone else experienced it? it's so weird

I feel like one too-at work. They basically pay me to smile. Im the "happiest" person there. Meanwhile i rarely smile outside of the office.
