Overcoming Inferiority Complex

Do any of the following sound familiar?

The smallest criticism makes you feel terrible for days.

You’re a perfectionist, and nothing is ever quite good enough.

You feel like an outsider looking in – like you’re different in some way.

You have an overriding sense of worthlessness and not feeling ‘good enough’.

You hide the ‘real you’ from the world because you think you’re unacceptable.

You’re a people-pleaser, and constantly defer to others.

You always compare yourself against other people’s top qualities.

Social media makes you feel miserable because everyone seems to be happier or more successful than you.

Do this instead

* Make fewer comparison: Everyone is on their own path, and no one really knows what struggles other people have. Identify your own values and goals – and focus on those.

* Practice gratitude: Research shows that if you’re grateful for the good things in your life you’ll tend to make fewer comparisons with other people.

*Challenge your thinking: One of the most effective things you can do is to challenge any unhelpful thinking styles and negative thoughts that leave you feeling inferior, unworthy and defective.

* Give yourself a chance: just understand that you are not perfect and so are others. Everyone is just taking chances.

* Practice self-acceptance: Own your flaws and insecurities. No one’s perfect. And that’s OK. Give yourself a break.

The thing is humility is different from Inferiority Complex. You can be humble without these traits but having them means you have the monster in you.

Monster? Eish!

Will try and work on it... It's killing me slowly... I think
