I stand by this, though I don't know that 'remarkably average at best' is necessarily a helpful way of phrasing it. I think I'm at least 'pretty good'. My imposter syndrome has diminished, too.

Now, this is just terribly harsh on myself. I got a 2:1 in Mods — hardly an 'appalling mark'! (Though there were a couple of really bad marks in there, and overall it *was* a low 2:1. But I should have stopped beating myself up over that.
A couple of people got in touch after this to say I'm better than 'distinctly average'. But I still think it. Though it's been long enough since I sang in a choir that it doesn't bother me now.

Also — 'tasks as basic as translating texts'?!!
But I do think I still agree that I'm enthusiastic rather than exceptional at many things. But that's fine!
