Is it okay for undergrads to write using the royal we? I want to so bad but I don't want to seem an imposter imposing on my reader like that, since I'm too nervous to show my proofs to anyone but my professor. It just feels like using anything bigger than "I" would be overstepping the line.

You're overthinking it too much.

It's more than encouraged.

>It is traditional to create an inviting atmosphere in one’s mathematical writing. In efect, we invite readers to join us in our reasoning process by writing in the present tense, using the pronoun “we” instead of “I” (e.g., “we construct a tangent plane...”), and directing the reader with gentle commands (e.g., “let n be . . . ,” “recall that . . . ,”

Its encouraged but you should reject it. Its an attempt at intimidation masked as friendliness. Write the truth and drop these mind games.

Friendly proofs are easier to read.
