      It's so normal -- but also, if we can get out of that loop of suffering it would be so much less stressful!
      
      Why do we often feel like this? We shouldn't have to!
      
      I can bring up plenty of pet theories as to why, but the crux is the Impostor Syndrome is a fear, and we shouldn't have to live in fear.
