> How can a musician have imposter syndrome? My opinion, based on my own circumstances and knowing others who feel the same way, is that some people in general have 'imposters syndrome' for whatever they do. Due to lack of self-confidence, I personally often feel like a 'fake' developer, 'fake' bass player, 'fake' husband, 'fake' son, 'fake' father, but over the years I've come to realise what I feel and experience isn't how other people perceive me. I've also tried to look at my capabilities and achievements through the eyes of others, and most of the time I came off as 'better' than I feel myself to be. TL;DR - imposters syndrome is more a function of a person's general character rather than a specific thing they do (or so I postulate).
