What about shouty fights?

>start writing in fanfic. It's a start I guess
>reception is good considering what it is
>other more well-established writers in the community love my stuff and seek me out, I start chatting with them on a regular basis
>imposter syndrome kicks in hard and I feel a growing sense of inadequacy and dread each passing day
>"there's no way they can actually like my stuff even though they willingly go out of their way to talk to me and they recommend the stuff to everyone they know"
>almost don't want to write anything in any field of fiction anymore because of how shitty it feels
I'm new to writing, how common is this and does it get any better
