is it my fault you feel inferior?

Question

is it a sin to feel good about yourself and have high self esteem and why my confidence would make someone feel inferior.....isnt that your own esteem problem....not mines????

Answer 1

I would say that it is the other person's problem more than your own, because technically THEY are the one who is allowing other's actions to affect themselves. But on the other side, if you are being too 'cocky' with your selfesteem and confidence and "in their face" about it, then it is also your fault, But if you are going on about your business and only enjoying your own high status without being overconfident about it, it is not your fault. Its theirs for letting your actions affect themselves.

Answer 2

If you're not intentionally belittling someone, than no, it's not a sin to be confident. In fact, confidence is great and can often rub off onto your peers! If someone is having an issue with your high self-esteem, they need to get over it...just don't walk around with an over-inflated ego. There is such thing as too much self-esteem. Remember the importance of humility, too.

Answer 3

People with high self esteem dont tend to look down on others and they most certainly dont feel the need to put them down.

People with high self esteem tend to radiate happiness and confidence onto people around for the GOOD of others.

Maybe there are still some issues you need to resolve.

Answer 4

You certainly shouldn't feel overconfident about your spelling and usage.

You can try (if you're mean enough) to undermine someone's self confidence, but there's no guarantee they're going to feel inferior. There's a saying " No one can make you feel inferior without your permission".

It's wonderful to have great self esteem, but try to raise the esteem of those around you too. Trying to make someone feel badly about themselves is just plain NASTY

Answer 5

No. Feelings of inferiority can be caused by a lot of things in our past, but moving forward, the person who feels inferior is the one who is creating their own reality in which things "make" them feel inferior. We do not have to keep our light under a barrel because there are those around us who are low-wattage. If someone finds your success too intimidating, you need a new friend and they need therapy.

Answer 6

If that person were to admit we all have weak points and strong points then would realize there is no need to feel inferior.

Besides, as you mention is it a sin. Best to judge yourself according to the faith God has given you.

But how do we fair when we weigh up ourselves against Jesus?

Answer 7

Like Eleanor Roosevelt said, "nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission"...Whether you're suicidal or pompous, your self esteem is not a cause and effect for someone elses...

Answer 8

there is a difference between feeling good about yourself and feeling good about yourself by putting people down with too much attitude

there is a difference between feeling good about yourself and having healthy self-esteem and being an over-confident b#tch who does not care about others

Answer 9

It's great that you have high self esteem, but so do I. No one can feel inferior unless they allow it to happen. I might not have as much as someone else, but I know that no one is more important in the whole scope of things than I am.

Answer 10

YES , That would be MY self-esteem problem. Not Yours. I actually wish I had friends like you. That way no one would be jelous of me. I know the feeling.
