I have moments when I suffer from a superiority complex and I feel so worthless and so inferior to everyone out there then are days when I feel so superior to everyone else there is no between, I never feel like I'm equal to everyone else. Is this normal? Does anyone suffer from an inferiority complex here?
I tend to suffer from an inferiority complex just about every time I go out and have to interact with others. The last two times I took classes THIS happened and I ended up quitting. (Though, I also had other reasons for quitting. When I did quit I never told anyone about it, I just stopped showing up.)
It really sucks having. I find myself constantly Putting myself down, telling myself that I'm inferior to others over sometimes, the simplest of things. :/
On the normalcy of inferiority/superiority complexes, I really don't know. Though at some point these complexes can become very unhealthy.
I wasn't aware that such thing existed until I saw this post. I think I might have this. It's either a part of my social phobia or an inferiority complex.
So, since I have social phobia, I feel judged by everyone. If I see a certain person frequently, I keep feeling judged by them. In time, my mind creates an aura for this person. So, every person who I get to see from time to time (neighbours, lecturers and other people in college, family, friends) has an aura. When I'm near a person who has this aura, I feel inferior to them. It also makes me put a mask on and act the way my mind thinks those people think I am. Sometimes I feel superior to those people. It's usually because I don't feel judged by them that much.
I thought this was caused by my social phobia. Now I wonder what is is. It sounds similar to what you described. Maybe it actually is an inferiority complex which was caused by social phobia.
I think it's got something to do with social phobia as well, I have extreme social anxiety and can't keep friends I can't hold a conversation with people I've come to know for example I can hold a conversation with a complete stranger and be completely normal no problem but if I.have to carry out on going friendships with those people/person then I have difficulties. In my head I convince myself that I'm annoying the person and I won't even text them to just talk or hang or whatever because I wanna be cool not that chick you befriended that keeps texting you, I get carried away with not keeping in touch the person will then think I don't give a crap when in actual fact I do, they move on & I get more and more attached, it's exhausting.
Ummm maybe you'll feel less like a drag if you invite many people at the same time.What I mean is that you find an evwnt or something to do and event people you know may have interest in that and invite them( makes sure they are compatible you don't want to b the one who has ro talk to everyone) . When you keep it like that you keep in touch and at the same time its not seen as I absolutly want to hang out with each of you individually!
I to an extent understand where you're coming from. Except in my case it's more of attractiveness. I look in the mirror and think I'm pretty attractive, like I go full on check myself out. But when I'm hanging with my friends or am around people, I know I'm ugly. I'm know I'm no Jensen Ackles. But if I can't even find myself attractive, then who will, ya know? Anyways, I get where you're coming from, just remember, nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
