Overwhelmingly worried that I am in fact terrible at my job and not at all suited to be a librarian...

The fact that you worry about being terrible at your job does not mean you are, in fact, terrible or unsuited for it. Perhaps it is the library itself? But remember who you are! Above all. And how much good librarians do in this world. And you can always take the Oscar Wilde approach.

Keep surfacing the feelings without judging. If you’re not suited to it, there will be something else meaningful you can do. No fear.

YOU get to decide if it is the right job for you. Please don’t let others talk down to you. If it’s not the right fit, you will find something you enjoy more.

I suck at my job too. Lucky for me we live in a world that rewards mediocrity.

I'm in one of those situations where I told people I would be bad at something, and then they are surprised that I am in fact bad at it
