Feeling Like an Imposter as I Finish My Internship

Hey everyone, I just needed to vent a little. I'm about to finish my internship, and honestly, I've been feeling like the biggest imposter ever. The company I interned at actually wants me to stay on as a security officer, which is amazing and all, but it doesn’t feel real. Like, I guess I did well enough for them to want me, but I can’t shake the feeling that I don’t really deserve it or that I’m not ready. Now that my internship is wrapping up, I feel kind of lost. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like this weird mix of pride and anxiety. Has anyone else felt like this before? How do you deal with these feelings of imposter syndrome? Would love to hear your thoughts or advice.
