I almost rejected a pay raise today due to my imposter syndrome and anxiety.

One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to say no was because I didn’t want to talk to upper management. I want to work in peace. I want my own control over my work. I want to be left alone. I don’t do the office politics.

Now I’m regretting everything that comes with the pay raise. My anxiety has me worried about getting fired. It has me worried about everything.
