Maybe this is offtopic, but I made my peace with this kind of anxiety once I met, interacted and worked with people who were really very very good at what they do.
I let me ego go.
It's ok to be normal. And it's ok to get to learn from the masters.
I once read a O Henry short story where the three main characters are at different places in society financially and in terms of power.
But they still found some meaning when they accidentally meet each other during the course of the story.
Their relative stature and standing in the world didn't affect what they thought of each other when they met.
It was kind of an uncanny, uplifting little story. Don't remember its name though.
- ImaCake 6y agoThis is a good lesson to learn. Pretty much everyone you interact with is interesting in some way. They can all teach you something you don't know, or share an amazing story. This is something you notice when you try to learn another language; suddenly literally anyone who can speak that language becomes someone who can teach you something. From the greatest king to the lowest prisoner, they all have at least this one thing that is interesting to you.
