When everyone sees an expert and you feel a fraud

The whole table turns to me because I'm supposed to be the expert, and I give a clear, confident answer. Inside I'm bracing for the moment someone asks the one question that reveals I'm nowhere near as sure as I sound. The distance between the certainty I'm showing and the doubt I'm feeling gets wider every meeting.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Everyone treats you as the expert while you wait to be exposed as unsure.
