Intellectual Self Esteem

In writing, especially when being judged upon and evaluated, no matter how much one ponders and wracks one's brains on the topic at hand, one would still doubt the paper's intellectual depth and content.

Is this the consequence of intelligence that if one can think of a concept or philosophy, one would still feel that it is lacking in depth? Or is this simply the result of one's insecurities and lack of intellectual self esteem?

Have you ever had this feeling when writing a paper or report?
