Serious suggestions only

Knowingly/Unknowingly a lot of people have this. Its not too bad unless its stressing you out. 

Yoga/Breating exercises help regulate your thoughts, control anxiety.

Take help from Mental health professionals.

Read some good books on this subject.

Some other points that help.

1. Self love. A lot of us do not spend money on ourselves but do spend for family. 

2. Dress for yourself and not for others. Dress nicely and comfortably and groom properly (Hair and beard/shave)

3. When you make a mistake, do not sulk. Understand everyone makes these. 

4. Walk straight (not sulking pose) and look straight into things (A lot of us look down while walking). Make eye contact while talking to people.

5. Prepare well. 

6. Celebrate your achievements. Like you get a raise or get an award or bonus. Take your family out for dinner and tell your wife/kids why you are celebrating. Do not make it an boasting event. 

7. When you are down, talk to your best friend (could be your wife). You may not get a solution but can get stuff off your chest. 

8. Talk to your parents (not about the problem) but in general. It will always cheer you up.

9. Do not get carried away looking at others who always look happy or cheerful. Everyone has problems. Some show and some do not show.

if you perform 100% …expectations on you will reach 200%…

only solution is…backup income source…that will help a little to reduce imposter syndrome…

You are not performing to meet your expectations. You're performing for yourself. Others' expectations should not be a driver for you. If you're working for money, do the bare minimum. If you're not, do what you can and want to.
