I have a constant impression that everyone around me is more competent than me at everything. Does it actually mean that I am, or is there some sort of strong psychological effect that can create that impression, even if it is not actually true? If there is, is it a problem you should see your therapist about?

Possible, but unlikely. We're all just winging it and as others have pointed out, impostor syndrome is a thing.
