I was very shy when I went to university...I felt inferior to everyone...I had a bad case of "imposter syndrome". The result was that I messed around and wasted time and failed all my classes. I just felt hopelessly out of my depth all the time, and felt I couldn't ask anyone for help because they'd think I was stupid...everyone else just seemed orders of magnitude cleverer than me. As I've grown older, I've realised that my problem was "confidence", not "stupidity" (not helped by the fact that some of my peers deliberately undermined my confidence...something else I didn't realise at the time) and work ethic (or lack thereof). I should have made more of myself, and I regret it now...

@marshall1003 You're quite right. I'm much more confident now than I was back then...largely because I realised that I had to find a way to "assert" myself somehow, or I'd just sink...

@artikasinha5665 It's when you don't feel you "deserve" to be part of the group you're in, because you feel everyone else in the group is much better than you.
