Impostor syndrome :sus: 

I've got a bad case of it with my job. There's a reason why I didn't want to be a manager in the first place and I really only really went for it out of necessity.
I know I'm not the best person for the job. I can only work 25 hours a week and I can't drive, both because of epilepsy. That creates tension in of itself. Then on top of that I go and play music half the year, and the scheduling for that can be a little dicey. I've already sacrificed some of that for this job and I'm worried I'll have to sacrifice more.
I know the GM probably only hired me out of necessity too. Like there isn't anyone else who works here who would be as good at the job as I am, that's very obvious, but I'm still far from the best for the job. She's got 40 people in the hiring queue right now, and I'm sure one of them would be willing to work 40 hours and drive whenever they're needed and not have to call in on the off chance they are feeling like they might have a seizure if they come in to work.

I kind of hate that I'm right in between being a normal person and being crippled enough to be forced to live with my mom or something. Too weird to live, too rare to die kind of thing.

@beardalaxy I feel for you. Glad you are getting this off your chest.

They trust you to do the job, that's important. Never sell yourself short.

@beardalaxy reminds me of a song
"to right to live, to right to die"

From personal experience, if you're worried about imposter syndrome then you don't have it and you're more than capable for whatever is asked of you.
