All of us have thoughts and feeling of inadequacy many
times. But inadequacy will become
inferiority complex if we always have the following characteristics.
1)
Constant comparison with others
2)
High sensitivity to criticism
3)
Fault finding and making others small so that
you can look bigger
4)
Hunger for flattery
5)
Social withdrawal
6)
Envy and Jealousy
7)
Self-pity
The root cause of inferiority complex is wrong
perception, rather than what is actually the case. We draw conclusions based
on our evaluation of past experiences. Mostly these evaluations are not facts,
but our distorted perceptions.
Remember the simple truth – no one is perfect. We
all have our strengths and weaknesses. So let us not fall in the trap of
comparison. Let us love ourselves. We are the creations of God. God cannot create inferior products. So let us
find out our plus points and go on improving ourselves. Then there will not be
any room for inferiority complex.
