Complex - Superiority complex/Inferiority complex

Hi Aps! It is but natural to suffer from either superiority complex or inferiority complex for many of us. But who asked you to feel inferiority so that you could feel that you just don’t want to be like others and you don’t require boosting, look – “I am so and so………therefore, you should listen to me and pay attention to me”. To my view, we should maintain a balance, in between two extremes. We should not neither feel superior to others nor inferior to others. Both the situations will harm us. Superiority complex will pump our ego and we would not treat human beings as they are. On the other hand, if we develop a kind of inferiority complex, we will be undermining our own self-esteem and our ‘ego. I believe that we are creation of great God and we are unique, we are special. We should not compare ourselves with others, as they might have faced different circumstances or may be facing different circumstances, then we are. One cannot make comparison between two ‘unequal’ things (like a lion of an elephant). You are special and that feeling should always remain in your mind, you may know many things, which others do not know or may not know in their lives. I try to take a balanced view and don’t feel either superior or inferior to the other fellow(s). Keep smiling!

Hi apsara well, i must say that both complexes are bad for oneself and society. i dont agree that "inferirtity complex" make one simple and humble, i think it gave so much lack of confidence to oneself that they cant do anythung right,they become pessimist and when they pose to come out of it, they do such mistakes that are problematic for themselves and society. So i must say that one must live without both complexes, and thanks Allah for what they have. and do their best in positive way. Take care

Any complex is definitely bad Apsara.Even people with inferiority complexes tend to hurt people on account of their feeling inadequate.And of course, it is horrible with the people who have superiority complex.I had a slight inferiority complex in school [was totally unfounded but when I shifted from a small school to a convent school this started.]Later this reduced but a little bit of diffidence was always seen in my approach.Luckily, as I grew older I had the right opportunities to get good exposure to my inherent talent and now I have the right sort of confidence.

hi apsara one should have both the complex in even proportion, if higer on superiority complex makes a person ego while, higer o inferiority complex breaks a person that is why it should be balanced cheers

Hi Aps,I agree complexes of any sort have to be nipped in the bud..Each and every person is born with some vision,some dream about his or her future..But upbringing,peer group ,family,etc play an important role in moulding the character of most persons to a great extent and this leads to the formation of complexes.. Inferiority complex stems from an underestimation of ones true worth,fear of rejection,fear of being laughed at etc...Such persons tend to be timid and shy by nature.... Superiority complex stems from an inflated ego and such persons tend to scorn or look down on others.If a person is able to srtike a balance between these two extreme attitudes,by learning to accept oneself for what one is worth,and by looking at fellow human beings with compassion and affection,it is possible to lead a life without having to succumb to any of these complexes.......

Hello Apsara, You are right the superiority complex makes people proud and rough by nature, they have their own joy to hurt someone, we are human being and only for 70-80 years on this earth. why should anybody hurt someone by his rough attitude. why can't people follow "live and let live". Well thank god I don't have superiority complex.
