Make sure you’re using an objective lens. I don’t know you, but I do know my co-workers. One of my co-workers in particular talks a very big game. According to him he’s the best coder in the company, and at every company he’s ever worked at, but his soft skills and social skills are so bad that no one wants to work with him. I also don’t think he’s as good as he claims… he only seems to know 1 language and refuses to improve shortcomings of his code, always pointing the finger at others.

I’m not saying this you, it’s just an example from my life. If your experience is in sharp contrast to how you see yourself, it’s worth taking a look at how others might see you.
