Inferiority

By JESSICA MCNEIL Published 5 years ago 3 min read

Inferiority is a kind of negative self-evaluation or self-awareness, and inferiority is a kind of negative emotion that individuals have low evaluation of their own ability and quality. The root cause is that people do not like to use realistic standards or standards to measure themselves, but believe or assume that they should meet certain standards or standards.

Low self-esteem is to underestimate one's abilities and feel that one is inferior in all aspects. Inferiority complex can be said to be a personality defect. It is manifested as a low evaluation of one's abilities and qualities, and may be accompanied by some special emotional manifestations, such as shyness, restlessness, guilt, depression, disappointment, etc.

The prerequisite for inferiority is self-esteem. When people's self-esteem needs are not met, and they cannot analyze themselves appropriately and realistically, they are prone to inferiority. After a person develops an inferiority complex, he often goes from doubting his abilities to being unable to express his abilities, from being afraid of interacting with others to being lonely and self-closed. Goals that can be achieved through hard work, will think "I can't" and give up pursuing them. They can't see the brilliance and hope of life, can't appreciate the joy of life, and they don't dare to look forward to that beautiful tomorrow.

Conquer inferiority and surpass yourself

In order to effectively overcome inferiority complex, we can proceed from the following aspects. Self-awareness is to look at others and oneself dialectically through a comprehensive and objective understanding. People with low self-esteem often have strong self-esteem and ambition, and self-evaluation agreements are high. When they get into trouble in their study life due to improper methods or lack of ability to deal with the world, their self-esteem is damaged and their sense of superiority is seriously lost. The person goes to the other extreme and becomes a person who has completely lost his self-confidence. It is very important to find your own strengths and recognize your own strengths. The more strengths you find, the more confident you will be. Everyone is more or less certain to have some strengths, and you must actively explore them. A bit exists in all aspects, such as being very successful in certain fields (singing is good), such as work, which is highly valued by leaders. Another example is a relationship of the opposite sex. After discovering your own advantages, you can find a piece of paper to record and place it in an obvious place in the room. You can take a look every day (if you have new discoveries, remember to add it). Struggle, to compensate one's own shortcomings with some achievements.

Physiological compensation phenomena, such as You Ming for the blind and You Cong for the deaf, are common. In fact, people have psychological and talent compensation capabilities. Diligence can make up for one's weaknesses, and use one's strengths to make up for one's shortcomings, which can be said to be psychological and talent compensation. Hua Luogeng said: "Diligence and ability to make up for one's weaknesses are good training, one point is hard work, one point is talented." Remember: as long as you have a deep skill, you will be able to catch up with others. Secondly, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and they must learn to make up for their weaknesses. Alexander and Napoleon were born with short bodies. This is their shortcoming. However, they do not feel inferior because of this. Instead, they can see their strengths and are determined to make achievements in the military. After continuous efforts, they all succeeded in the end. Therefore, certain flaws and deficiencies of people are not absolutely unchangeable, but it depends on whether they are willing to change. As long as you find the correct compensation target, you can overcome your own shortcomings or mention compensation from another aspect.

Conquer inferiority and surpass yourself

Learning and doing things are the best "cardio booster." In order to overcome inferiority, you can shift your attention to activities that you are interested in and can best reflect your own value, thereby diluting and reducing the shadow of inferiority caused by weakness and alleviating psychological pressure. Whenever we do one thing well, we can gain further confidence; and with confidence, we can get praise from others, and then get psychological satisfaction. The beautiful reaction of the chain is the impetus for us to succeed, which will make us psychologically satisfied; it will make us see farther, climb higher, give full play to our strengths, and obtain the happy life we ​​want.
