What are the causes of an inferiority complex and how to overcomesteemCreated with Sketch.

The word "complexes" is used a lot in psychology. There are many types of complexes today, from the "Brummel complex" (a tendency to dress very formally) to the "Little Red Riding Hood syndrome" (a tendency to be timely even though wolves are nearby).

In fact, these groups are more about giving you a name than telling you anything useful about who you are or what you do.

At first, psychoanalysis only talked about two complexes: the Oedipus complex and the Castration complex. However, it has led to many others, such as Alfred Adler's famous "inferiority complex" at the start of the 20th century.

The building wraps around us and protects us.
First, let's keep things very easy so we don't get too deep and make things harder. An illogical or skewed thought we have about ourselves is called a hang-up. Even though these thoughts seem to be at odds with each other, we act on them as if they were true.

When we look at how words came to be, everything gets more interesting. The word "complex" comes from the Latin verb "complectere," which means "to hold" or "enclose."

Following this line of thought, we could say that the complex is an unseen force that holds us captive and flows through our whole body, "enclosing" us.

Some people think they are smaller, weaker, less helpful, less capable, or less brave than others, which is known as an inferiority complex.

Then the question comes up: how did he get this idea? Does she really believe those things, or is she "closed" to other people?

Opinions change over time, so if the problem was only based on what other people think, it would be easier to solve.

A person with inferiority issues, on the other hand, is in pain. She acts desperately and without thinking, either to prove herself wrong or to make herself feel worse about how she looks.

This is for everyone who starts projects that are too risky or too bold and end up failing. Some people never take a chance or know ahead of time that they will fail.

There is no need to give a magic formula for boosting self-esteem or a mantra that doesn't work, like "repeat to yourself 40 thousand times in front of a mirror that you are beautiful, brave, smart, and talented."

Here are some things we think you should think about:

  • What is stopping you from being the person you want to be? Is it your flaws or the way you act around other people?

  • Are you doing things that help you reach your goals, or would you rather do something else?

  • How do the ideas of humility and honour make you feel? …Do you say things like, "I'm worse than these idiots who criticise me"? Or how about "I was born to suffer and I will never get better"? ..
