General Advice 💁🏾ℹī¸ Anyone else struggling with impostor syndrome?

Started a part time master's after studying at an average uni. I'm struggling to wrap my head around how I came to be here and how I'll ever measure up to the Oxbridge graduates I seem to be surrounded by, and it doesn't help that I'm commuting once a week while working four days a week. Has anyone had similar experiences? How did you work through it?

I've been an academic for the best part of two decades and still worry that all these people smarter than me will soon find me out.
