I just started a new job after being laid off, and I'm really struggling with imposter syndrome. After ten years of stability, the layoff was a huge shock, and while I'm grateful to have found a new role in this tough job market, I'm terrified of failing despite my past successes. I don’t have a full degree, but I’ve always managed to secure great positions through hard work and a strong work ethic. Now, I find myself in a team where most of my colleagues are younger and have degrees, while I bring a wealth of hands-on experience. My manager hired me for my background and personality, but the team dynamic has triggered some serious self-doubt. Onboarding is done by just one person, who is fantastic, but since he’s close to management, I worry about looking foolish based on his feedback. It's also pretty lonely; with split departments and a hybrid schedule, I haven’t had much opportunity to build relationships with anyone my age. I really need advice on how to navigate this situation and quiet my inner critic, reminding myself that my experience still holds value.
