Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that we are not as good as other people think we are and that we will be found out. It is often attributed as being particularly prevalent amongst high achieving women but I would say I see it as often in men.
Signs You're a Nice Person
You feel compassion and empathy for others. You give people genuine compliments. You listen to what other people have to say. You take responsibility for your mistakes.

According to egocentrism, individuals will overestimate themselves in relation to others because they believe that they have an advantage that others do not have, as an individual considering their own performance and another's performance will consider their performance to be better, even when they are in fact equal.
