Inferiority Complex - What Does It Mean?
Inferiority Complex is a pathological state beyond the occasional feeling
of inadequacy, compelling an individual to feel diffident and overly
critical of themselves.
A student feeling inferiority complex may feel below others in terms of
social, physical, intellectual, or psychological attributes. Feeling inferior
prevents one from comparing oneself with others in terms of knowledge
of a subject, the ability to perform a task, and so on.
One who feels inferiority complex experiences a much broader and long-
lasting feeling of inadequacy in every aspect.
Inferiority Complex Vs. Low Self-Confidence
In simple terms, most of the people, including various psychologists,
interchange the meaning of inferiority complex and low self-confidence.
To be precise, there is a slight difference between inferiority and low
confidence.
Low confidence is a psychological state where a person begins to doubt
his/her ability to perform a task efficiently. It denotes a sub-conscious
perception of oneself as below a physical, social, or intellectual
standard.
On the other hand, the inferiority complex is a demonstration of low
self-confidence. It reflects a person’s thought of inadequacy affecting
their emotions and relationship with the others.
Causes of Inferiority Complex
3 Significant Causes of Inferiority Complex
1. Parental Raising
Trending in the modern lifestyle, most of the children are raised under the
guidance of caretakers. Lack of parental upbringing develops a sense of
high risk of exposing them to low self-confidence and inferiority complex.
2. Social Status
Numerous students at some point in their life face discrimination based
on their family, race, sex, caste, and religion. This is observed mostly in
colleges or higher studies where students are bullied by their seniors,
exposing them to the risk of inferiority complex.
3. Physical Challenges
For students who are physically handicapped and have weight issues or
visual defects may expose them to an inferiority complex. Other factors
like stuttering may also lead to a feeling of inferiority complex.
Symptoms of Inferiority Complex
4 Symptoms of Inferiority Complex
1. Social Cut-Off
People who are under the influence of inferiority complex face trouble in
interacting with new people or speaking in public. The sense of feeling in
them that the public would not see them a right fit compels them to feel
embarrassed.
People having inferiority complex often find it challenging to make new
friends, and maintaining the ones they have; because they feel worthless.
2. Attention Seeker
Inferiority complex is a state where a person needs to be loved and
appreciated helping them to feel worthy. A person facing an inferiority
complex depends on the appreciations from others or gain their
attention to feel worthy.
3. Highly Sensitive
A person who is challenged by the inferiority complex is highly sensitive
to what others think about them. They are easily moved by the
perception of others and are at high risk of mental breakdowns when
criticized.
4. Feeling Of Disrespect
It is prevalent among the people having an inferiority complex to ignore
their will and choices to be liked by others. These people often find
themselves in the dilemma of struggling between their choices and
attention from others.
4 Ways to Beat Inferiority Complex
1. Practice Leniency
One of the primary weapons to take down the inferiority complex is to be
kind to yourself. Despite all the mistakes you made, all the failures you
faced, you need to treat yourself leniently. The practice of self-recognition
and self-belief is the biggest weapon to tackle the inferiority complex.
2. Identify Your Strength
Inferiority complex takes over a person when he/she begins to feel
overwhelmed under their weaknesses. You need to stop thinking of what
you can’t do and focus on what you are capable of doing.
3. Healthy Relationships
You must identify negative characters around you and avoid them
strictly. Instead, build relationships with people who recognize and
bring out the best in you. Stick around to people who help in building
your strength and work to make you a better person.
4. Learn To Say NO!
People facing inferiority complex often find themselves in a situation
where they are trapped to agree to the demands of others. Learn to say
NO where you feel stuck is a great practice to fight inferiority complex.
