Why you object if I were to get in touch with you? I'm UK based (not London) and would be interested in hearing a bit about the startup/tech scene in and around London. Being involved in a local HN group would be an awesome aid for me.
Your assessment is 100%, it all stems from a lack of self-confidence in my own ability. And that lack of self confidence is causing a constant nagging in my mind that prevents me from achieving what I'm ultimately capable of.
I already have a number of side projects which are predominately mobile apps. One of which has an install base in the thousands. Another of which absolutely bombed and yet took the longest to develop - that was a failure. I don't think I fear failure in my work. Rather I fear failure in life, being rejected for jobs and not being good enough to work at company X or with person Y.
