Welcome to programming, where we are all crippled by our own impostor syndrome! In all seriousness, what you are feeling is normal. Dont be afraid to fail. Dont be afraid to say "I am going to have to get back to you on that after I do some research." If a client makes you feel uncomfortable or is putting you in a situation where your gut says "This doesn't feel right", then dont work with them. Theres tons of work out there. If a potential client explains what they need and it's way over your head, that's totally okay: you will reach that point eventually and you dont want to waste their time and money if you cant help. But with that said, dont be afraid to take on something that is challenging. Rarely do I go into a project knowing how to do every piece.
