I feel guilty taking a sick day even when I'm actually sick.

I answer emails late at night so people think I'm hardworking.

I feel like everyone else got a manual for adult life that I never received.

I schedule fake "focus time" in my calendar just to have an hour where nobody can book me.

I've been more nervous texting someone than I was in my last job interview.

I've pretended my internet was bad to get out of a video call.

I keep a document of compliments people have given me at work and read it on bad days.

I rehearse what I'll say before every meeting, even when I'm only going to say hello.

I've been at my job for two years and I still feel like someone is about to find out I don't know what I'm doing.
