Do you constantly analyze situations and people around you? Do you feel worthless? Have you at some point felt that you are inferior to others? All of us at some point in our lives have felt the same. We constantly compared ourselves to them. If you do that, then you probably have an inferiority complex.
It is a feeling of not matching up to standards, lack of self-esteem, and a constant doubt about yourself. Such people are too bothered about what others think of them. They are constantly comparing themselves to others.
As a result, they start avoiding people. They become lonely, they stop attending social gathering. They label themselves as failures, and avoid challenging situations in order to avoid failures. They develop their own ways of responding to situations, often backed by a defence mechanism.
Honestly, you can completely overcome inferiority complex yourself. What you need to do is follow these five simple strategies. Practice them consistently and you will start noticing a difference in your life. So, the five simple ways to overcome inferiority complex are.
1. Build your self-confidence
Treat yourself better. Act confident. Do what you love. Embrace yourself. Is there anything in your body that you don’t feel confident about? Maybe your smile, your nose or your hair? The trick here is to either accept yourself the way you are or do something about it. If you have curly hair, get your hair straightened. Do whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
2. Surround yourself with people who uplift you
It is important to realize that your inferiority complex might be linked to the people around you. It might be your relatives, your friends, your siblings or your colleagues at work. Analyze your interactions with them. Once you are able to identify people who try to pull you down, do not reciprocate your feelings or are not very encouraging, start distancing yourself from them. Look for people who are positive, who uplift you and who bring out the better version of yourself. Take efforts to develop a relationship with them. Avoid people that bring you down and surround yourself with people that uplift you.
3. Stop worrying about what other people think
One major cause of inferiority complexes is constantly thinking about what others are thinking about us. We seek validation from them for every action of ours. Sometimes we are thinking about their actions, while sometimes we are imagining what they think. Disassociate yourself from their judgments. It is ultimately your opinion about yourself that matters. When we feel good about ourselves, then others will feel good about us.
4. Do not be harsh on yourself
There is absolutely no need to be harsh on yourself. Practice self care, self love and self improvement. Love yourself. Be kind to yourself. Do not over analyze situations. Do not expect yourself to change overnight. Give yourself time to heal and time to change.
5. Practice positive self-talk
Practice positive self-talk. Encourage yourself. Praise yourself for all the good traits that you have. People who have an inferiority complex tend to do negative self talk to themselves. Try to change the tone and words that you use for yourself. Say positive things about yourself and let them sink in your brain.
When you do all these five things, then you will be able to overcome inferiority complex. Try to surround yourself with people who uplift you and do whatever it takes to bring that change in you.
