I found your article very helpful, I learned what Iferiority Complex is. Being 17, this is useful knowledge to have. It goes with ” Don’t take anything anyone says or does personally, because when you take it personally, you agree with what the other person says or does.” – Don Migule Ruiz – “The Four Agreements”
Thank you for this Article.

Hey Joshua,

Great article. I dealt with a severe inferiority complex for most of my life and it’s good to know that i’m not alone with this problem.

I remember the moment I got rid of my inferiority complex for good – It was when I read a passage in “Psycho-Cybernetics” that read: superiority and inferiority are two sides of the same spurious coin”. I realized that i can’t be inferior to anybody because it’s also impossible to be superior to anybody. Every human being is unique, and consequently, can only be compared to it’s own standards.

Thanks for the kick ass blog …

For me, it is appropriate to start by forwarding thanks generously for the author of the article.

There is nothing to be added by my part on the topic of inferiority complex at individual level that born out from personal and social backgrounds.

What I would like to emphasize is that, while individuals immersed in and grew up in the ocean of self inferiority complex hold power accompanied by force and money would do devastating effects over the people they are being assumed to govern. It has also devastating effect as has been seen in many ethnic conflicts while such feeling grew up in to the level of hatred one ethnic group over the other.

To sum up, inferiority complex is more dangerous and devastating while it manifests itself in group forms, be it in forms of ethnicity or religious. It is at the same time more dangerous at individual level while such person chanced enough to have power and gun.

The world has an abundant history in the topic that I share with you; all genocidal matters happened in Africa; the atrocity committed over the people of Jew; the crime committed by notably dictators, all originates basically from inferiority complexes and some times from superiority complex too.

Again, I would like to thank the author of the article because he ignites and inspires us to say what we said and moreover educate us on the subject.

thank you for this report this is wonderful! I never even knew I had inferiority complex until my father told me then I came here to research about and I realised this is actually helpful instead of that stupid advice where they say think positive about yourself or write down 5 things that you like about yourself. This is more real. I’m going to take this up.

[...] What I’m proposing, which has been touched on and backed by a couple of authors and teachers, is that academically intelligent people fail in predictable areas of their lives – and they don’t want to solve the dilemma. The genius-failure paradox describes that people who must feel smarter, wealthier – or generally superior – to others refuse to seek help in dealing with people. (You can read more about superiority, inferiority, and the self-image.) [...]
