Answer 2

First, be clear about your values. Do you value money, people who laugh all the time, wear the right clothes, drive the right car, go to the right restaurants? If yes and you don't have the means to measure up and don't find life so funny, no wonder you feel inferior. But your sense of values is not correct so you must change it.

WARNING!!!!! If you feel inferior because of some advertising or some show in the media that shows you a make-believe version of reality, the proper reaction is not to feel inferior but to admit that what you see is NOT reality (no matter what the show pretends to be, like "reality" TV or some such).

Do you feel inferior because of race, or your height, or some other physical trait? But you know that all men (and women) are created equal, don't you? The US constitution says so.

If what makes you feel inferior is something you can do nothing about, then you are probably mistaken about your inferiority complex.

If, on the other hand, you feel inferior because you do not have a certain skill that you wish you had (whatever that skill may be, it all depends on your personality) then all you have to do to get rid of your complex is to learn seriously and acquire the skill.

If you make a good, honest effort at self improvement you will have good reason to be at peace with yourself and your achievements will prove your value and in this manner your inferiority complex will disappear.

The only acceptable reason to feel inferior is when you know deep inside that you are not living up to your potential as a human being. Then you know that you are not doing your part in the world and are, so to speak, betraying your fellow human beings.

Answer 4

Many a time the inferiority complex intensifies from the surroundings. Your friends, family members, relations and more.
Check your friends. When we're in groups, they usually find a scape goat and start making fun which demoralises and that's were the inferiority complex creeps in. Same goes with the family members too.
Change your friends circle who talk positively and give constructive criticism that's good for progress.
When it comes to relations, see if you could change the topic and bring in some positive thoughts that motivates everyone. If not move away from that place when such conversations take place.
Remember all these people who make fun of you, criticise and who contribute to this inferiority complex are worth nothing. They're not going to help you when you're in trouble. They are only trouble makers. So please check your friends and surroundings and change for good.

Answer 5

See trimming the branches is no solution as new/numerous leaves will again grow. So the best cure is to strike or cutting the roots so that neither the branches nor the leaves could not grow. Now what is the root of this complex.The root cause of inferiority complex is comparison because with comparison how do u know that u r inferior or not. If one can live without comparison he/she will never feel inferior or superior. But then u will ask that if we don't compare we may stagnate? But one has to first live without comparison only then this question is valid because once u start living without comparison this question will automatically become invalid.

Answer 8

Superiority Complex is just a latent form of an Inferiority Complex & vice versa. See we set unrealistic targets for ourselves, we believe in some way we are way better than others, and then when we sometimes are not able to achieve it, we suffer from something called “Performance Anxiety” (and that’s not only true for in bed). This leads to an Inferiority Complex. We believe that we are constantly being scrutinized and judged and critically at that. Now the best way to tackle it is by conditioning yourself into thinking that everyone is better than me but I don’t give a damn. I don’t have to impress people. I don’t have to live by other’s dictates. I am what I am, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. I sincerely hope this helps you, because it certainly did help me.

Answer 9

Inferiority complex is caused due to poor understanding of your own self. To fight against inferiority complex,
-First know yourself.Once you identify yourself, you get to know where you lack and also you will know how much you have within you.
-Second step should be to make up for your short falls - This can be done by learning from others.Know that every person is undergoing a continuous learning process at every given point of his life which makes him a better person next moment. And you are somewhere in the chain and a little more effort can take you to heights.
-Third step is to know how can you make use of what you possess.
And if you are successful in three steps you could tell yourself that nothing in the world can stop you, as you are what you are and you are unique.

Answer 10

try to do the things that are well within your reach. Do not ask any body for any suggestion, even if you loose. Go on trying different methods. At one point you will succeed. This will boost your self-confidence. You will start to look at things with an analytical eye. Observe the problem as a third person would. Game. You cannot afford to loose. Again you have won. Feel proud that you are able to achieve. Do not care about criticism. Critics would look at you with awe and wonder. Now you will ask, "What is meant by inferiority complex?" Thats all.

Answer 11

one feels inferiority complex only when he thinks that he doesnt have something that the other person has.and only if he is not ready to face the realities .so if one really wants to overcome his inferiority complex then he should first see himself and think about what you have and the other person doesn't have .Then you will feel better .Suppose the other person is having fair complexion than you and the persons like to talk to him only and ignores you many times .Then you will definitely observe some proud in him or her that only makes you to feel bad and inferior than him/her but you see only the complexion one has got. and the gathereing around him .Inspite of this , you think deeply and make it sure that what is more important means what you have if you have good behavior then it works great and is everlasting .If you talk the persons in a attractive way and with giving some respect to them , you will certainly get good approach by others , because no one is perfect in this world so you are not the person who cant do anything .so you observe yourself and pickout your goods skills and try to show it to others in a better way, you will definitely get a good response by others and If once you will feel that you have done it will help you a great to overcome inferiority .and in facing anyone around you .
But you keep some patience because every change takes time .patience works wonders
