It’s a specific flavor of anxiety where you doubt yourself and believe all of your achievements were based on luck instead of effort. It’s usually seen in people who were punished or shamed for being themselves, and is a symptom of not trusting themselves; the feeling of “not fitting in.” People with imposter syndrome are preoccupied with the belief that around every corner is the situation in which they will finally be “exposed” as a “fraud” by someone/something.
