They are both escapism and stories of the human experience. Spiderverse, for example, is partially about overcoming self-doubt.

this is a laughably bad example. successful art at its best can reveal something new about yourself or the human condition; it can make you feel emotions that you don't even have words for.

overcoming self-doubt is something we teach children.

Happy to hear that you've moved past that human emotion, but you don't need to insult those who still experience it.

How do you teach someone to overcome self doubt? Asking for a friend.
