I agree. Such feelings of inadequacy are observed, and rarely discussed. The intimidation is rarely admitted, as in an offered excuse. A good mentor, and more game experience seem to be the best tools to overcome those feelings.
Performing as an official is quite foreign to most other activities. And, it takes some experieice to get used to it.
