How to get over imposter syndrome?

Yeah so ive been struggling with this for a while now, it started when I was in grade 6, I didnt really feel like I deserved the things I got, when I graduated grade 8 I felt like I wasnt meant to graduate and go to highschool, and all through highschool i always felt guilty when my parents bought me gift or flew us to see relatives over the holiday, I just dont feel like anything I do is good enough or that anything ive been given or earned I deserve, I know its a bad way to think but I just cant get it out of my head, recently I had a trip to the Philippines and my dad gave me 2k to spend on anything and I felt guilty and flabbergasted he even had that even tho I know we're well off and can afford it, I used my money to buy cloths and I haven't worn any of the things ive bought, a problem I have is that I dont dress up or try to dress good in public cause I feel like im just showing off and I dont deserve to do that, anyone have any advice to stop doing this and be ok with myself?
