Inferiority Complex - Sure Way to Dismantle It

The nature doesn’t believe in similarity. It creates every human being with a unique quality or feature. Even twins are different to each other in many ways. We need to identify our unique quality and develop it further to outshine others. Here we become superior to others. Therefore inferiority complex is irrational. If you have one unique quality that is superior to others how can you be inferior? In spite of this truth many persons suffer from the misery of inferiority complex.

The Biggest Hurdle

Mostly persons develop inferiority complex when they are obsessed with their weaknesses. They always keep thinking that others are superior to them. They often get nervous while talking to others - especially if the opposite person is talking confidently. It is difficult for them to appear before an interview board. They perspire, their mind gets clouded and speaking normally becomes a herculean task for them. Inferiority complex becomes their biggest hurdle on the way to success or progress. Fortunately they can get rid of this problem easily.

What is your Unique Quality

Write down your good qualities or plus points on a paper. Spare some time to think about the quality or ability that is better than others. And try to develop that quality as much as you can.

If you have your own views on several matters and you like to write then start writing. Maintain a diary or register for it and write daily. You can also write in the file created in your computer. You can try to get some of your creations printed in newspapers or magazines. If your voice is sweet you can impress others by polite talk. You can also learn singing. You may even learn to play on any musical instrument in case you have a desire. If you are good at making drawing or painting then shine this ability by adequate training and practice. Join an art and painting school. If you have interest in computer then learn it by joining an academy. If you love solving the sums then aim to become master of mathematics. People will definitely recognize your talent and you will be admired. It will also help you to make a good career in the field of your interest.

Miraculous effect ON PERSONALITY

It is rule of the nature that every one has something unique in him or her. When you improve its strength by regular study and practice a feeling will develop in your heart that you are better than so many other persons at least in one field. You can’t even imagine at present the miraculous effect it will have on your personality. You will start gaining confidence and gradually become free from inferiority complex. Your negative thinking about yourself built this complex and the strength of your unique trait will dismantle it.

Use affirmation

According to Norman Vincent Peale, one of the greatest motivators and advocates of positive thinking in America, affirmations have immense power over our personality. We can also use them to weaken the grip of inferiority complex. Here is a good affirmation to help you to gain confidence and come out of the clutches of inferiority complex:
“I am a unique creation of God. I have many good qualities. I love myself. My positive mind will help me to attain my aim in life"
Repeat it 10 times before going to sleep and after getting up in the morning. Your inferiority complex will fly away from you in a short period.

About as helpful as a punch in the mouth. When people like myself suffer form the disease that is an inferiority complex, finding your unique ability isn't as easy as writing down good qualities that you have or telling myself I love myself really isn't going to cure it. For example, I'm totally unware of what my greatest traits are and what unique ability that I may have. It's hard to recognise and a lot of work would need to be done before I begin to come away from feeling worthless.

There's something to what she's saying. You may not agree with the exact wording but I really do believe in positive thought. When something happens, who are you to judge whether it's good or bad. Since you can't know you have two choices, look at it negatively or positively. Might as well think you're @#$%&*ing awesome, it's better than thinking you're a terd!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

The secret to overcoming the inferiority complex is to figure out how to stop comparing yourself to others. The initial comments are overrated. Very simplistic article that doesn't address the issues.

There's a good and much more extensive article on overcoming the inferiority complex. Just search "earthling inferiority complex" in google.

i have mixed feelings over this because its not that easy to think of your best qualities. many years of being brought down by someone else brings people to believe that they are what they have been taught to be. if it were that easy to just think positive and you would make yourself overcome this disease....then dont you think none of us would suffer from it? we should distance ourselves from the people that cause us to have this problem to begin with. nothing in our world can cause this but someone else making you feel unworthy! many people spend their lives with someone they are not happy with but stay because of the thought...nobody else would want me. yet somewhere someone else is thinking the same thing and would love to have someone like us to truly care for and have us to care for them. so i say think of what you want out of life and stick to it. so get out and explore life. find new friends and live life the way YOU want because you only get one chance at it. GOD loves you....thats all that matters!

I don't think it is that simple. If you feel inferior, you probably are going to need a support group or therapist to help you to be motivated to stop the distructive behavior that makes you feel this way. That's why I came to this site looking for real help.I deffinately would not say Sure way to dismantle the inferiority complex I would say two ways toward.

This article describes how I overcame my inferiority complex. After divorce, injury, foreclosure and starting a new career after making $100,000 a year in my past one I was at a low point as I dove into a challenging career. I always felt shy and timid. At that emotional low I gravitated to what I've known since I was a child, which is athletics. I spent countless hours learning a new sport, swimming, and I started weight-training, which led to dietary changes. After a few months I started to like what I saw in the mirror. During that same time I read books like "The Power of Positive Thinking", and joined a networking group that gave me a tremendous amount of support. It took a serious conscious effort to redirect my thoughts. I went to church, beaches and hung out with close friends. I also started writing all the positive changes I had the power to make. Do something you've always wanted to do, and work hard to master it. It works! Become a new you.

There are up sides and down sides to this article. As has been pointed out elsewhere, by trying to excel in a unique interest to attract social affirmation, one could actually make the problem worse. If you become a good artist, you may shun socially interacting, thinking that social acceptance will come with people liking your art...this likely will not happen. Instead you will get less experience socially and make your feelings of social inferiority worse. On the other hand, one cannot come out of feelings of inferiority without building self esteem and confidence. In this sense, it is helpful to see yourself excel. It's dangerous to assume that this is all there is to the equation though.

Someone who would have an inferiority complex (such as myself) wouldn't be able to solve their problems by listing their good triats. The effect of an inferiority complex causes you to think that you are (news flash) inferior! Therefore, it's impossible to think that you even have good traits (in most cases), because no matter how strong you think your good traits are, in your mind, there's always someone else who is superior.
