I've earned the bigger title, but I can't make myself say it out loud. When someone asks what I do, I shrink it down to something smaller and safer, because claiming the real thing feels like bragging or faking it. So I keep introducing a smaller version of myself than the one I've actually become.
More people experience this than they realize.
