this is common in any group of friends. I personally experienced this and it does has some effect, it sometimes lead to jealousy and conflict among friends. Dealing with this is relative to the person in the situation. We have to always keep in mind that each of us are unique and we always will have a unique trait that we can be proud of, we may not be smarter or richer or look better than any of our friends but we must learn how to appreciate ourselves - of what we can do for the group.

Well, in my pre-teens I always felt infoerior to my friends. That was because I always felt that my friends knew, one or the other was better than me in all ways. It felt weird because even otehrs used to pay more attention to them.
I then started my habit of reading. ALl the time reading good books made me positive, and now, I am one among them, not an inferior one. Positive reading really helps. Whatever I do then is respected as a thoughtful action. I even started to mix with the people and became extrovert. I started playing lots of sports.
Inferiority Complex is just a state of mind, a condition, where you think somebody is better than you. OFcourse people are better than you, but still, you also are not less. you must rediscover your qualities and try to develop them, to an extent that others must respect those qualitites, and thus respect you!
Yes, inferoirity complex affects a relationship a lot! When you are inferior to anybody, than for sure, you are not gonna put your best efforts feeling the other person might not like it. You are not gonna try at all. Now that is bad. your relationship will not start only, and by chance, if it has, it won't develop! I believe, one must be confident over his actions. If he makes mistakes than whats wrong. Humans are the ones that make mistakes. We are not the almightly that we wont make mistakes at all. SO, I never am afraid of any actions now, and I proud to be myself, let others think waht they want to!
