What if it's the opposite? What if you are, coincidentally to the title, humble? What if you get amazing feedback and a high salary and are always somewhat amazed. Many others seem to think you're very good at your job or at sports or investing, but you think it's just a matter of time before you're found out, despite the objective success. While overconfidence is definitely a thing, the opposite is definitely a thing too. Just a better thing with better results.
