You know the Dunning-Kruger effect? (If not, please follow the above link. Post'll still be here when you get back.) It's scary when, once you've finished going "LOL idiots!", you realise that it's not idiots. It's people who lack skills in ANY area. So at least one thing that you think you're reasonably good at, you're probably terrible at. Cue panicked mental listing of all things that I think I'm not terrible at and a frantic attempt to recall any form of external validation for my skills in those areas.
Though of course, the Dunning-Kruger effect means that I'm probably not thinking of the right ones.
