Updated on July 20, 2018

This write up might sound familiar, yes it is familiar but I want to be more practical about it. Many authors have defined Inferiority Complex in diverse ways. Inferiority complex is a feeling people develop mostly right from childhood; may be they have been put down by their parents, probably people have told them that they are not good enough, you know and they believed it and that sense of inadequacy has been with them and they carry it on as they grow.

Causes of Inferiority Complex

Feeling Of Not Pretty Enough

Probably, you are not one of the finest girl and guys were not always walking up to you to approach you or propose to you, you are not one of those girls they will come up to and toast in the class you understand what am saying. You know, mostly ladies, kind of enjoy guys chasing them when they seem not to notice you, you would like, what is wrong with me. There are some ladies who that really gets to them; they would never discuss this with anybody, they just run crazy within themselves, they feel like the world is over and then they began to see themselves as not pretty enough.

Effects of Inferiority Complex

Feeling Rejected

Guys also are not left out in this situation, when they walk up to a lady and proposed to her and she refused or rejected their proposal, wow it hurt them a lot. Ben shared his experience, he said; “there is this girl I met one day, she looks so hot and beautiful too, I decided to talk to her but after everything she refused, I felt really somehow bad.” It's normal to feel bad but it's abnormal if you allow that one incident of rejection to stuck into your head, you need to shake it off and move on.

This inferiority complex happens to men when they approach a lady and she refused, they will be like what happened? And before your eyes another guy approaches the same lady and she accepts and this guy is not as rich as you are, not as handsome as you are but he get that same lady before you. What happened to their brain that does not happen to others who couldn’t get them? Life happened, and that is life for you, it was not because you are not better than those who get them before you okay, don’t think about it too much. But it might as well be your fault huh! Continue reading and you will find out why.

How People Develop Low Self Esteem

What could be the problem why some people find it difficult to face challenges and how do others overcome challenges/inferiority complex they encountered? How do they overcome it in the case of man and woman?.

An Inferiority complex is something that people develop from childhood or as they grow up. May be they have been put down by their parents, probably people have told them that they are not good enough, you know. Phillip not his real name shared his experience “I grow up in a family where I discuss with my parents when I was a kid. Whenever I have a problem I discuss with them like an adult, so I don’t feel anything like inferiority, I am not scared of anything.

And when I got to the age of getting married, I boldly approached my wife; she is smart, beautiful and classy. I met her in a café and walked up to her and say ‘do I buy you a coffee?’ and she said, ‘I already have my coffee’ and I said ‘okay, can I buy you another kind of coffee?’ and she laughed and you know when she just laughed you know you have entered.” Some men would have given up on the first try or got stuck not knowing the next line of words to use but Phillip did not give up, he made use of his sense of humour you know.


Reasons People Find It Difficult To Face Challenges


Alcohol: Some men usually take alcohol before approaching a lady. And remember when you are under the influence of an alcohol you are not in control but the alcohol. Taking alcohol before going on a stage or before approaching a lady shows that you are not a man of your own.

Fear: inferiority complex is just a fear of failure, some of this start from the background, the family you came from, if your parents don’t give you the independent mind to make your own choices. As a child is growing, he/she should be given an independent mind and should allowed to make mistakes, let him/her make some mistake and see if he/she would be able to correct it and when he/she is unable to correct it, you can then put him/her through, allow your children to have some kind of freedom to make decisions on their own and that does not mean you shouldn't be watchful to guide them to the right part.

Fear of the unknown, who knows, if I do this or that what would happened and then as a result, you just sit there and do nothing. One speaker once said “Fear is a false expectation against reality”. You need to adjust and determine to work on yourself, learn to face your fear heads on.

Bulling: is another factor which contribute a lot in making some people feel inferior to others and don’t let anyone get to you by bulling you. There are some people who build themselves up by talking others down and it’s very wrong. Your bulling people doesn't make you a superman rather it shows that you lack confident in yourself. You need to realize that you are a person of your own; you are just like any other person out there in terms of qualities and as well in terms of potentials.

Negative Energy: there is this quote that says “No one can make you inferior without your prior permission.” Your behavior or attitude is what sends signal to others who in turn takes advantage of that and influence you in a wrong way. Hanging around negative people or friends who will always tell you 'it cannot be done, you are not good enough or you are not good at anything' and in your subconscious you would be thinking that way, and got stuck. You need to get away from them, negative energy is contagious, the Manual of life says as a man thinketh in his heart so he is. Negative people attract negative energy around you, so run! run!! run!!!

Taking Charge of Your Life

Be Open Minded: Don't be so serious all the time and also do not allow your pride to come first, loosen up a bit mind you people are attracted to people with free spirit. Men who intend to approach a lady should be bold and lively. Ladies admires men who are humorous and so you need to be creative and I bet that is the key to most ladies' heart.

Communication: Communicate more with people even in a meeting, don’t bother whether they would like what you want to say or not and it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t think before saying anything either.

Take Charge of your life: Nobody will talk you down without your permission. No matter what anybody do or say, what contributes to yourself worth is what you say about yourself.

Take note that it’s not what others say about you that count, it's what God says about you and what you say about yourself that counts. Do not allow what anybody say define or get to you, shake it off. Have you ever watched water runoff a duck's back? That is exactly how you should treat unkind words or comments, just shake it off and move on.
