everyone has done so much more than i have, accomplished more, have more praise-worthy feats in their life. i feel as if everyone is so much better than i am, from CEO's of companies to the homeless guy in the street. Nothing i do or will do or have done has been worthy of recognition, i am nothing, nobody and i was born, have lived and will die that way.
I feel this way a lot because I'm 23, live at home, have no car, and only work like 10 hours a week. I try to find comfort in the fact that many of these circumstances are beyond my control, and my family is loving and don't put me down about it. But I voted not normal because I know that we shouldn't feel that way.
I have an inferiority complex as well as a superiority complex, both of which are a pain in my ass. The inferiority complex seems to come randomly. It can during my pottery classes, which I loved, but because of it I did everything in my power not to Finish my classes. I have it occasionally with my therapist and the people in her office, despite them never giving me any reason to feel this way. I just worry that this might end up coming up when I go to college. What on earth will I do then?!
This is crazy, I feel like I'm reading my own thoughts. I've tried explaining to people that yes, I actually DO feel inferior to people that I "shouldn't" feel inferior to -/ like you said, homeless people. I think it may be because I fear that I have had no interesting "life experiences," especially serious challenges. Maybe you are the same way?
