Feeling Inferior and inferiority complex

What is Inferiority?

He is a successful and intelligent person and he has got loving friends, but something inside keeps telling him he is not as worthy as others. Whenever he was in public and upon meeting new people, the inner voice would whisper: “Hey, you know you are different, you know you lack something; even if you are successful, you are still not like them”. Every single laugh around is considered a scorn, every whispering couple are talking about him. He doesn’t feel worthy, in other words; he’s feeling inferior.

Why did that man feel inferior?

The man was suffering from feelings of inferiority and inadequacy; when such feelings control the behavior to that extent, it is then called inferiority complex. The cause of that man’s inferiority complex is deeply rooted in his childhood; when he was a kid he was physically weaker than the other kids his age, which lead to them beating him up, taking his lunch and calling him names. Years later, he is now a very social person, academically very successful and a great basketball player. Yet, the feelings of inferiority are still lingering there.

Inferiority and the subconscious mind

This man’s subconscious mind still carries feelings of weakness and that’s why, compared to others, he feels worthless. The man labeled himself as weak, inadequate, stupid and clumsy. These labels accompany him everywhere, and despite the fact they were buried deep into his subconscious, they were always in control of his behavior and feelings. Not having a reason to feel inferior now, he's tried to convince himself that he's fine but it never worked; his subconscious mind needs much more than this to stop feeling inferior.

Sometimes the main reason people fall in love with others is their own feelings of inferiority!! in my book How to get over anyone in few days i pointed out that one of the reasons someone could fall in love with someone else is his need to compensate for his own weaknesses. People who fall in love because of their feelings of inferiority have a hard time getting over the person they loved because with losing him, they lose an important source for compensation. In such a case the solution is to deal with the inferiority and not try to get that person back, simply because you don't need him, but you just need to compensate for your own weaknesses.

Do you Feel Inferior?

We are all liable to feeling inferior to others at one point or the other, but when that feeling takes charge of our behavior and emotions then it's time for a stop and some reflection. It’s time to examine our past and our real worth; its time to look closer into our subconscious and figure out why it's sending out these weird feelings.
