In Episode 153, Billy Donnelly discusses imposter syndrome, primarily because he finally found his own. After years of believing that he sometimes almost belonged too much, a couple of recent instances -- centered around going to concerts -- had him feeling like maybe he didn't belong in those situations. It prompted some reflection about past cases in which he limited himself and what he did because he didn't think he'd be welcomed into particular communities. Likely buoyed by other gatekeeper experiences, his anxiety about being seen as a fraud or a poser was enough to keep him away, protecting him from hurt and discomfort. However, faced with decisions about New Found Glory and Taylor Swift, he finally found it within himself to push back on the idea that he didn't belong.
