1. Remember that a lot of the people you feel inferior to feel the same way you do.
2. Think of other people as exactly that: just people, with likes and desires and problems just like you. Sometimes we read way too much into appearances and forget that behind the appearance is a person just like you, no matter how great they look or how confident they appear to be.
3. If you want to have a friend, be a friend. If you see someone that is standing alone at a party or some other event, just go over and say hi. Whats the worst that can happen?
4. If there is something about yourself that makes you feel inferior to others, and if there is something you can do about it, by all means attack the problem and try to resolve it in some way. Self-perception is often based on particular percieved physical or personal traits and if they can be changed it can have an amazingly liberating effect.
4. If there is something about yourself that makes you feel inferior to others, and if there is nothing you can do about, you need to look at your own attitude towards the problem. Many times a problem can be a much bigger deal to yourself than it is to others. Your attitutude towards the problem, and yourself, could be what is hindering your relationships with others, rather than the problem itself.

The best way to deal with a complex is to become an actor. If you act as though you feel you are worthy and convincingly so, others will treat you like you are worthy. However the truth is confidence, intelligence, consideration and humor are attractive qualities. Insecurity is a turn-off. Those who seek out the insecure are generally control freaks. Start sincerely believing in yourself....and remember...most people are attracted to the one who plays hard to get..

The only way to beat inferiority is to make yourself superior (or convince yourself that you are superior).
You do that by: practicing either with a friend, or in front of a mirror, practice things you like to ask, and things you like to talk about.
Studying up--do your homework. If you found out this girl is a physician's assistant, then go find out what they are and how they are licensed and how much they usually are paid, etc.
Are you comfortable in your surroundings? Maybe you've chosen a spot where unreachablewomen hang out. Maybe you need to go somewhere you're more comfortable.
Being prepared.

Accept yourself for who you are. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but don't focus on your flaws or weaknesses too much and try to stay optimistic and secure. Find a positive trait or a talent to boost your confidence level.I think that most guys are not very adept when it comes to women. What women like about men can vary because it depends on the woman so there are different ways of getting a woman's attention, impressing her and getting her to like you.
If you don't like your flaws, improve yourself. Find what it is that makes you uncomfortable around women and fix it or practice with a friend how to act around women. Don't worry because dating and getting into relationships take time and experience and you'll learn gradually how to get it right.

Learn to love yourself! When you know that you are a wonderful and beautiful human being who loves yourself, life and everything around you, rejection does not matter. A good way to start is doing the mirror excercise, look into a mirror and say to yourself 'I Love You' for at least a 100 times every day for a week.

Why do you think you are inferior? Write down why and then ask yourself if it really makes any sense. Also, think about what you are good at, and start conversations about that with people so you are in your comfort zone. Some books on self-esteem development might help too.

I think everyone has things about them that are wonderful. Maybe you shouldn't use comparisons to others as your main assessment of yourself. Also, we all face disappointment and failure, so don't be too hard on yourself.

Figure out what causes you to feel like that and find ways to change it.
