Feeling Incompetent at Work, Especially During Presentations​😓💼

I constantly feel like a fool at work, and it worsens when I have to do presentations. Working alongside extremely smart and articulate colleagues makes me feel inadequate every day. A few days ago, I had to attend a review meeting. Nervousness hit me hard, and my mind went blank—I had no idea what I was saying (English being my second language doesn’t help; stress makes finding the right words even harder). Everyone stared at me as if I were the biggest idiot alive. Now, I feel like this perception will haunt me throughout my career. I can barely answer questions; half the time, I don’t even understand what’s being asked. I just feel like my knowledge is limited. Has anyone else felt this way? How did you overcome it? #WorkSelfDoubt #Presentations #FeelingInadequate #CareerGrowth #SecondLanguageStruggles
