I worry almost constantly that people will discover that there is nothing of worth to/in me, that there is no reason to love or like me or that there is something awful about me and will then leave me. It makes me feel desperate and clingy, which then makes me worry that those things will drive people away.
Almost everyone feels that way to some extent. If you have friends, you're loved and valued by people who have some of the same insecurities you do. So by the twisted logic of emotion, since it takes one to know one, I know you're insecure, you know I'm insecure, but we love each other anyhow-- therefore, we have worth and value.
I am terrified that I am no good at my job, that sometime people are going to figure it out and I'm going to be unable to get another job because I'm so bad at what I do. I feel like of all the things I 'know' how to do, I don't do any one of them well enough to actually have a productive career. And eventually people will find out.

I feel that I have something unique and special to offer the world, but I'm afraid that I will never find my place and time to show it.
I always feel out of place no matter where I am. I can emphasis certain aspects of my personality in different situations to have a good time or make it seem as though I fit. But in reality I don't fit, even when I hide some of my quirky tendencies I feel odd under other's eyes. There are very few places with very few people that I truly feel home.
