Since I've started working a common feeling I've been forced to confront is feeling like a complete and total idiot. I thought that I would be able to get past this after my first month or so but it seems to have gotten worse. In school I had grown comfortable in my role as the over-achiever where I could get A's with minimal effort and any question I had could be answered by Google.
Flash forward to the corporate world filled with project-specific jargon, acronyms and names impossible to pronounce. I can't count the number of times I've been called out on errors or mistakes in front of a room full of people only to be left feeling about an inch tall.
I never considered myself a stupid person and I actively try to learn but it all just seems so overwhelming and impossible to conquer.
I would be a liar to say that I've never retreated to a bathroom stall for a good, solid 5 minute cry before braving the world of cubicles again... will this ever pass?
