Inferiority is the feeling of judging oneself as the lowest. The point to note here is when someone is telling us inferior, at that moment we shut his mouth with logic.
What do we do when we are underestimating ourselves ?
This is where the inferiority complex begins. The most famous sentence of today’s time is that life is a race and we are all running to win it.
When we are running in this race, it is obvious that someone will come at number one, someone at number two, many will be in middle, then some will be far behind.
We all want to win but sometimes we fall behind and we start avoiding people because we feel inferior.
Can avoiding like this break the relationship ?
There is no fault of others in this. It means we have to work on ourselves. Our confidence depends on our attitude of looking at life. It is an undeniable truth that people who look at life from a positive perspective have more confidence.
How to conquer inferiority complex ?
Everyone says that to get out of an inferiority complex, build self-confidence. You will also find many articles and videos on this matter. But confidence does not grow easily. We have deep roots behind its deterioration.
If you are a woman and belongs to a small town, then you must have heard some dialogues many times :
“You are a woman. You cannot do this. People from small town can’t see big dreams.”
This negative fear must have settled deep in your mind. All these things you heard many times, due to which your mind is filled with an inferiority complex and your confidence curtailed.
If you have low self-confidence, then it means that you do not recognize your strengths. You consider yourself inferior to others. That’s why people remain victims of inferiority complex.
In such a situation, you have to go to meet someone who has done very well in the field in which you have taken the first step. You will feel confident.
It is natural for you to feel scared. Even though you may be working on building up your confidence, you will suddenly fall prey to an inferiority complex.
Here I am giving some tips which will be useful for you.
1) Pay attention to your body language
Our body speaks more than us, or rather it speaks all that we do not want to speak. When visiting someone, don’t let your body language reveal your low self-confidence. take care –
- Don’t bite nails
- Don’t rub hands
- Don’t freak out
- Don’t bow your head
- Don’t try to hide your inferiority complex by talking too much or laughing without reason.
2) Remember your achievements
Suppose you feel that today you are much inferior to them, but in the past, you must have been equal or even ahead of them. Remember the past when you were their counterpart. Apart from this, remember the achievements that you have got in life. This will increase your confidence and reduce your inferiority complex.
3) Get out of your character
If your confidence is relatively low because of being a woman, of a particular religion, caste or community, then get out of your character. Consider yourself only human. The second person whom you are going to meet is also a human, so why to afraid? Feel free to meet, talk.
4) Switch to another character for a while
You must have read that this life is a drama and we all are a part of it. Now make it a reality. I mean that you are a character who is playing his character. This is a character whose confidence is very low. There is a feeling of inferiority in it. Because of this, this character does not want to meet anyone. Now imagine for a moment that the person is you.
You can also take any imaginary fictional character. The one you like the most. Do this on a mental level. When you get into that character, your confidence will increase. Then you will be able to easily talk to the person you were afraid to talk to. It’s just a mental boost up which will help you a lot in that situation.
5) Understand the truth of inferiority complex
Inferiority is born when we expect an outsider to consider ourselves good and to be accepted. When this expectation is over, the inferiority complex will automatically end. For this you have to understand that we are all moving in a circle, the one we are running after is running after someone else. This means to say that the one whom we are considering to be full of confidence, but somewhere he is also weak.
The most important thing is that this is just a journey which has to be lived with full happiness. Neither in the worry ahead nor the memory behind. Then why should we lose the joy of this priceless journey by being possessed by an inferiority complex.
