I would be so devastated if I told a coworker that I had imposter syndrome and they were like, "wait, you think that we think you're good at your job?"

My boss told me himself that I probably have impostor syndrome. Ever since then, I lose sleep wondering how much he regrets saying that. By now, he surely realises that I actually am an impostor, but our labour laws are too good and he can't fire me.
