We all have gone through phases in our life when we are shackled by self doubt and low self confidence. Many of us may have had moments where we take a negative comment about ourselves personally and we end up looking at it as a personal rejection and it takes a long time to let such comments slide. In such moments we encounter feelings of inferiority complex.
Inferiority complex is a set of beliefs that we hold about ourselves where we always assign less value to ourselves in comparison to others. It is a composite of low self-worth, doubt and uncertainty, and feelings of not measuring up to standards.
Hrithik Roshan, one of the most sought-after superstars used to suffer from an inferiority complex as he used to stammer during his childhood. Inferiority complex manifests in our lives constantly and continuously & affects our relationships, performance & our self perception in covert & overt manner. It is often unconscious and may arise out of deep seated insecurities especially when we put ourselves down and put others on a pedestal. When we have feelings of inferiority, we keep comparing ourselves with others and always end up selling ourselves short. We tend to maximize our flaws and discount our strengths.
We may fail at times and succeed at times. Both are learning experiences. It’s our various strengths and imperfections that make us who we are. We are all unique and capable of fulfilling our limitless possibilities.
The most important thing to remember is that nobody can love us until we learn to love ourselves
Nobody can make us feel inferior without our consent – Eleanor Roosevelt
