Does anyone else suffer from not wanting to do higher keys cause they have general anxiety or dread and feel like you don’t belong there unless you’re just monster geared, can absolutely pump and do top damage and know every single mechanic of every role?

I’m like the opposite of a carry, but mainly live in lower keys having a bad time with newer or lower geared players. I’ll run with people in my guild sometimes that have ksh or whatever and are 10 ilvl above me and I’m doing similar damage and beating them on bosses sometimes etc. But I dread pugging. It takes me forever to feel like I’m doing good enough to climb keys.
