I applied to a job that made me mention my latest termination in the application. Am I screwed?

In the application, the box asking about whether I've been terminated from any job was required (it wouldn't let me proceed until I filled it in). I gave the awnser “Employer decided I was not the right fit for the position” (which is true) but the fact that I was on the job only 4 months may already look suspect to the people hiring. Do I even have a chance in hell of getting a call/email back or will there be (once again) “someone more qualified” than me? Sidenote: People say I have imposter syndrome, but after 15 years of hearing that explaination from jobs, I doubt that very much.
