An inferiority complex is a set of behavioral reactions that affect the self-awareness of a person, make her feel incapable of anything. An inferiority complex often makes people seek help and support from others. They want someone to accept their condition, to help overcome difficulties. The complex itself does not allow you to fully develop, realize your dreams and goals. A person simply gets stuck at a certain stage and is afraid to move. It sometimes seems to him that any attempts to find peace of mind are completely meaningless. What is a complex and is it possible to somehow get rid of it?

Signs of an inferiority complex

An inferiority complex usually has severe symptoms, which in itself should alert. Such a person lives very carefully, afraid to make a mistake or behave somehow wrong. He is constantly trying to live up to other people's expectations. For this reason, it becomes difficult to realize one's own desires, since there is not enough mental and physical strength. Consider the main manifestations of the inferiority complex. What should you pay close attention to?

Self-doubt

A person cannot make plans, strive to achieve a significant result, because she lacks vital resources. Suffer in the first place emotional sphere. This results in problems such as: inability to make a decision on their own, fear of action, constant tension. A person is not just afraid to act. He does not know in which area his efforts should be directed so that they give the expected result. Often such a person has a dream as such, but he constantly postpones its realization until later, believing that he is not smart enough and talented enough for this. Lack of faith in own resources, present .

Constant pressure

Due to persistent self-doubt, strong emotional stress is created, which prevents you from living fully and enjoying life. It turns out that a person drives himself into a certain framework, does not allow him to be happy. The inferiority complex provokes additional experiences associated with the inability to cope with the situation on their own. Gradually, despondency becomes the norm of life, since there is no opportunity to change anything on your own. The complex often creates muscle tension in the body, leading to emotional devastation.

Heightened self-criticism

An inferiority complex forces a person to constantly look for their own shortcomings. It seems to him that for some reason he is worse than others. Gradually, a habit is formed to compare their achievements with the victories of friends and acquaintances. A person is so fixated on his experiences that he does not notice the good that is happening around. Increased self-criticism prevents a happy attitude, prevents learning to understand individual needs and desires. In most cases, people withdraw into themselves and do not want to take any decisive steps. This is sad, especially considering the fact that a person can exist for so many years.

Belittling your dignity

An inferiority complex causes a person to constantly find himself in a losing situation. The fact is that people set themselves up for the bad in advance. They feel like they can't do anything. Belittling one's own merits makes it difficult to feel like a truly whole and self-sufficient person. Such a person does not know his strengths, he sees in everything only manifestations of shortcomings. He wants to get the support and approval of others, so he is ready to justify their expectations, not paying attention to his own needs. Belittling one's own merits is a deliberately false path that leads to wasting mental strength in vain. The personality is constantly in disturbing experiences and therefore does not understand what it should direct its efforts to.

Inferiority complex in men

The inferiority complex in the representatives of the stronger sex is almost always associated with a sense of their own insignificance. It seems to such a man that nothing depends on him, that circumstances are stronger than his own preferences. The complex of self-doubt in this case greatly interferes with self-realization. A person for a long time cannot understand that he limits himself. Since it is very important for a man to realize himself in society, he begins to feel unnecessary and lost. He no longer wants to strive for anything truly significant. The inferiority complex in men contributes to self-immersion, obsession with their problems. If self-doubt prevails for a long time, then most likely the person will need psychotherapeutic help to solve the problem.

Inferiority complex in women

The inferiority complex of the fair sex is often combined with uncertainty about their irresistibility. Such a woman often cannot start a family, she is afraid to act, to meet men. Over time, she begins to feel more and more that no one needs her. The inferiority complex in women is due to doubts about their own attractiveness. It is this feeling that makes her hide from life, feel a sense of uselessness.

Causes of an inferiority complex

Extreme self-doubt does not form on its own. It appears as a result of a wrong attitude to life. What are the reasons for the development of an inferiority complex?

Wrong upbringing

When parents give little time and attention to their child, he has to spend a lot of time alone with his thoughts. As a result, the kid begins to regard any of his actions from the point of view of how adults will look at him. Gradually, a need is formed to justify the desires of others and not to listen to their own. An inferiority complex is a problem that a person has to face alone. Most often, no one from the immediate environment even suspects how serious obstacles a person has to face. Daily fruitless struggle can undermine the strength of everyone, make a person vulnerable and subject to various fears.

Negative experience

Faced with ridicule, condemnation or any other negative impression always leaves its mark. When a person has to go through some disturbing situation again and again, then there is a high probability that they will stop believing in themselves. We are so arranged that our thoughts always rely on the events that took place in the past. There is no way to enjoy life when there is no feeling of happiness. If you do not work with negative impressions, then they will constantly dominate the personality, not giving it the opportunity to fully work on itself.

Frequent criticism

Criticism from others can permanently deprive self-confidence. Everyone wants to feel that their ideas and thoughts are really appreciated and accepted by society. OK social environment It is extremely important for the formation of an adequate attitude towards oneself. The presence of such a complex greatly overshadows a person’s life, prevents him from fully moving forward.

How to get rid of an inferiority complex?

The problem of extreme self-doubt must be dealt with. You need to work on yourself constantly, and not from time to time. The complex will not disappear by itself. How to get rid of such a complex? Is it possible to do it yourself?

Taking responsibility

Each person creates his own future. In order to get rid of the overwhelming problem, you need to take responsibility for what happens to you personally. Realize that it makes no sense to start blaming other people for things that only you can change. Acceptance of responsibility implies that it is necessary to give up the idea of ​​controlling everything, because this, by definition, is impossible. The sooner a person realizes this, the better. The complex itself is the result of a wrong attitude towards oneself. If you work on the problem correctly, it will soon cease to disturb.

clear goal

Self-realization is of great value. It helps us to remain interesting to ourselves for a long time. The complex will cease to assert itself so strongly if you have a clear goal. It implies a very specific idea of ​​what you want to achieve. You can’t set vague goals for yourself or rely on someone to help you achieve it. It is imperative to understand what you are moving towards, what you are directing your efforts towards.

Thus, an inferiority complex is always associated with the fact that a person feels that he is not good enough to accept some benefits. She does not realize her own unique value, does not understand how to realize herself in this or that business. To get rid of the complex itself, you need to learn to think differently. If you can't solve the problem yourself, contact the center of psychology of Irakli Pozharisky for help. Working with a specialist will help you understand yourself, find ways of individual self-realization.

We often experience self-doubt. This may manifest as a bad mood, nervous tension, apathy or a certain model of behavior in associative situations. Perhaps your despondency is the cause of dissatisfaction with some aspect of your life, but the fact that you have an inferiority complex should not be ruled out. We will talk about it in this article.

An inferiority complex is a combination of psychological and emotional disorders. In other words, it is a cause that can be hidden in failure, mental trauma, discrimination, physical or psychological abuse.

An inferiority complex always has a starting point from which a person will subsequently repel himself, compensating for his insecurity with some actions.

Immediately I would like to distinguish between the concept of inferiority complex and self-doubt. These are two concepts that are far from each other, if the latter is inherent in almost everyone, then the complex is often the foundation of a psychological or mental disorder. Due to the feeling of inferiority that accompanies this complex, a person is prone to experiencing depression and even suicidal tendencies.

The concept of an inferiority complex according to Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud was dubious about the concept of an inferiority complex, despite the fact that this term (complex) was first introduced by his student Carl Jung:

• He agreed with the existence of stimulating factors that provoke a person to compensate for this disadvantage at the expense of other advantages.
• Freud believed that it is often this "complex" that can lead a person to success.
• But the doctor, in his usual manner, referred to an erotic origin.
• He brought out several types of complexes, which were based on an unhealthy sexual desire.

Thus, the Oedipus complex reveals the son's sexual desire for his mother, and the Griselda complex reveals the father's unconscious attraction to his daughter when he is prone to hypercontrol and overprotection of her. Oddly enough, the second complex is a neglected consequence of the first.

But the Jocasta complex - akin to the Oedipus complex - an unhealthy sexual attraction of a mother to her son. We can observe mothers who, on a subconscious level, feel the need to overprotect their son at any age.

Sigmund Freud also brought out some more very interesting complexes that are still relevant and applicable in our time:

• Unrecognized genius complex. Inflated self-esteem, which makes it difficult to come to terms with the “boss-subordinate” relationship model. Such people do not stay long in one place due to disagreements with the leadership.
• Marilyn Monroe Complex. Low self-esteem. Feeling of inferiority, which provokes you to feel your value only during sexual intimacy and constant change of sexual partners.
• Cain complex. Envy of the older brother in relation to the younger. A complex that is often attributed to teenagers.
• Iona complex. Low self-esteem, which lies in the fear of something good. A person experiencing this complex considers himself unworthy of being successful or happy.
• Polycrates complex. A feeling of anxiety that after a white stripe there is always a black one. Such people live in constant fear of retribution for their quiet life.
• Napoleon complex. A very interesting concept. This is the overcompensation that lies in the great purposefulness of short men.

Sigmund Freud came to the conclusion that the cause of the inferiority complex is the disagreement between the Self (the individual) and the Super-I (the individual's idea of ​​himself). When the difference becomes noticeably palpable, a person has an incorrect, distorted idea of ​​himself, so he begins to experience an inferiority complex.

Compensation for an inferiority complex

A person with an inferiority complex begins to feel an advantage over the situation when they sublimate their anger, resentment or tension in any direction. Thus, he tries to compensate for his lack in the situation that is available to him. But the problem is that the carrier of the complex does not always choose the right direction:

• Many people, compensating for their complex with other advantages, find in their injury a stimulus that helps them succeed.

• But there are people whose complex turned out to be stronger, completely destroying their faith in their own strength.
• Many are able to feel their advantage only by humiliating and insulting others. It seems to them that, against their background, they can “grow up” in their own eyes if they artificially belittle another, more successful opponent.

All serial killers, without exception, experienced an inferiority complex. By killing their victims, they tried to compensate for their inferiority by playing the situation in reverse. Often the offenders were women. As a vivid example of an inferiority complex: a serial maniac never rapes his victim without eliminating her. He fears judgment or ridicule from his victim.

For example, a little boy was always seen as a mistress: a white rich woman, always humiliated his mother, who served her as a housekeeper. In the future, the whole world will recognize him as the "Stocking Strangler" - a killer who chose his victims according to the type of mother's employer.

Going beyond as a modern cause of an inferiority complex

Going beyond is modern theory inferiority complex. Now many psychologists are coming to the conclusion that the outdated norms of upbringing, which we absorbed from the cradle, in the future can lead to an inferiority complex and the reason for this is going beyond this model of upbringing.

This is a very interesting path, dear from childhood, along which an inferiority complex is formed. From childhood, we were taught to live according to a single pattern:

• study well
• finish school with a gold medal
• university - with honors
• be a good specialist in your field
• get a job in your area of ​​specialization
• be a good employee
• seek career advancement
• marry early
• have two children (preferably by the age of 25) and so on

There are several more paradigms that we manage to acquire with valuable parental advice:

• money is hard to come by
• funds should be spent wisely
• to achieve something significant, you need to work hard (and even suffer)

And also the charity of some character traits that are common to all people:

• Selfishness. It has been severely suppressed since childhood. For example, before taking the last pie, we must definitely ask if someone from the family wants it. Surely parents will allow their child to take a treat, but what happened? It's a learning process!

Reflections are taken from Andrey Kurpatov's book "Handbooks for the Egoist", who claims that this is a basic instinct common to all humans and some primates.

• Greed. We are taught from childhood to share. In a group kindergarten we had friends and foes, but we had to share with everyone. Up to the point that some bully could complain to the teacher or even mom. Often, everyone takes the side of the offended, because no one likes greedy children.

• Pride. This is the most important and wrong infringement of parents in the early manifestation of pride and self-esteem. We must ask for forgiveness from our parents for our disobedience, as well as forgive and be friends with our offenders. When a sense of self-worth is cherished from childhood, there is nothing to be surprised at the presence of an inferiority complex in children.

What's happening?

It is difficult to live, adhering to all the points of the script. Therefore, we often deviate from the usual pattern of "normal" life. For example, we are not in a hurry with the wedding, but for a long time we live in a civil marriage; we leave the university and follow the call of our true calling; we do not occupy a solid position, but earn extra money with needlework or simply refuse to have children. What's happening?

• Going beyond the established scenario, we endure condemnation from loved ones. We do not receive the approving evaluation that we have been striving for since childhood, and we begin to feel our inferiority in this life.
• Having gone beyond, we do not understand what to do next. After all, we were not taught how to live the way we want. We begin to doubt our abilities and feel our inferiority. This can easily lead to an inferiority complex problem.

Imagine that you went to pick berries along the same path every day. Once again visiting the forest, you left the path, and now the road is unfamiliar to you. The same is felt by a person who goes beyond the framework of a single correct scenario.

Female inferiority complex by Alfred Adler

The reason for the female inferiority complex, according to Adler, may be her secondary role in society. A woman is more prone to feelings of insignificance and even insignificance when in her life there was or is a man whose social role is much more significant. This can be expressed in one of the following life scenarios:

overbearing father

When a little girl observes from childhood how different the social roles of a man and a woman (mother and father) differ, she begins to prioritize:

• There is nothing wrong with the fact that people are drawn to the best, so the girl, watching such a picture, subconsciously tries on the role of a dominant (powerful father), but, becoming a woman, she understands the absurdity of the situation.
• As a woman, she considers herself a second-rate type.
• In all men, she will see an imperious father, before whom her mother bows.
• The consequences of such thinking can be very different: from low self-esteem and an inferiority complex to a personality disorder.

Despotic husband

A despotic husband can cause you to suffer from an inferiority complex. I would like to immediately distinguish between the concepts of a stupid man (tyrant) and an emotionally unstable, cunning and two-faced despot. It is the second type that can destroy your concept of self-esteem. What is happening?

• A male despot often uses the "carrot and stick" method to create the illusion of guilt.
• A woman becomes a dependent victim in such an unhealthy relationship.
• After a while, the woman begins to feel her own need for physical punishment. It would seem stupid, but this is the normal behavior of a person with an inferiority complex.
• A despot man each time after a beating gives the victim a "carrot". It could be a sincere apology, an expensive gift, or a declaration of love, giving her the upper hand and the reins of power.

So, after a while, such relationships become the norm. The victim suffers beatings in order to gain his advantage, because only in this way can he feel his perfection. It is very difficult to leave such a relationship, because. the victim becomes dependent and feels a constant need to compensate for the inferiority complex.

But there is another option, this is when fate brought you together with a moral despot:

• This is a man who himself suffers from an inferiority complex and feels that he can compensate for this only by insulting and humiliating someone, thereby imposing a sense of inferiority on his partner.
• Only by humiliating others can he raise his dignity.
• A woman, hearing her shortcomings - it is worth noting that despots are very cunning and will focus their attention on what you yourself feel your weakness in - begins to experience an inferiority complex.
• The low self-esteem that she acquired thanks to the despot prevents her from leaving such a relationship. It seems to such women that they do not deserve anything more and that they deserve everything that happens to them.

exemplary brother

Children can feel jealous if they feel they are being treated unfairly. With girls, everything is somewhat more complicated, noticing that the main privileges are given to another child (that is, a brother), they begin to feel his advantage over themselves:

• Boys are allowed a lot of things from early childhood: there is no condemnation for them if they inadvertently stained their new jeans or broke their knee climbing trees.
• The girl is treated more demandingly, arguing this with the phrase "you're a girl."
• The child may develop a sense of male superiority over himself.
• In the future, going to school, these requirements are only exacerbated, because parents are often afraid of early pregnancy or bad company and try to protect their daughter.

Such injustice can leave with age without a trace, or, on the contrary, develop an inferiority complex in a girl.

Male inferiority complex

Men also tend to experience an inferiority complex. Often this is the result of upbringing or an overwhelming niche that is imposed on all boys from childhood, saying “you are a boy”, “don’t be a girl”, etc. to him. It is not surprising that the child begins to complex. Self-doubt appears, and the child feels inferior, experiencing such complexes in adulthood:

• Boss Complex. This is an attempt to fill their courageous niche - which was mentioned earlier - in full. Such a syndrome manifests itself if women or their character traits were critically belittled or their parents were too demanding on the child.
• Complex in male power. Another niche is imposed by society. There is an established opinion in the world that a man should always be ready for sexual exploits. Oddly enough, this is not the case. Such a complex can lead a man to real disorders of erectile dysfunction.
• Hercules complex. In other words, it's the henpecked syndrome. When a woman, whose social role is weaker than a man's, begins to force a man to do things that are unusual for him (washing, putting things in order in the house, etc.), he feels that his libido is being diminished. As a result, the Hercules complex develops.
• Don Juan Complex. The need to increase one's own libido at the expense of the initiative to break a romantic relationship.
• Alexander Complex. This is the most sophisticated type of complex. Due to discrimination against sexual minorities, a man is able to experience his inferiority even in completely inappropriate cases. For example, when someone jokes about his masculinity or suggests wearing a pink or blue color. But this complex can be a consequence when he, a man, is a subconscious admirer of same-sex relationships. Such men are very afraid of exposure and, in order to dodge this, write themselves down in the ranks of "homophobes".

Some complexes can be attributed to a number of "inevitable". They do not have a natural cause, to which all life processes are subject - aging. It would seem illogical, because a man is like a good whiskey, the older the better, but the fear of death is inherent in everyone. Therefore, men are very worried about their aging, tying new complexes to themselves:

• King David Complex. This is a way to “rejuvenate” at the expense of a mistress. Men who experience this complex tend to compensate for their age through sex, and sometimes living together with young girls.

• Kotovsky Complex. Baldness for a man is akin to impotence. You should not look for meaning in this, the fact remains: when a man begins to go bald, it seems to him that he is losing his masculine power. Such men are very easy to figure out in the crowd, noticing the slightest loss, they shave their heads to zero.

Inferiority complex in children

Studies of the inferiority complex according to Adler are encouraging. Because uncertainty about early years common to many children. With the right approach of parents, such children are able not only to get rid of this complex, but also to achieve some success. A child may suffer from an inferiority complex for several reasons:

1. Physical handicap. Especially this reason can be attributed to the development of an inferiority complex in adolescents. This may be small stature, dysfunction of a limb, or an unsightly appearance. Sometimes children are very cruel, and for a fragile child's psyche, this is a real trauma that can easily lead to an inferiority complex.
2. Lack of parental attention. Lack of parental support reduces a child's self-confidence. Children are not able to reveal their inner potential on their own and this is another reason for the development of the complex. The indifferent attitude of parents makes the child inferior.
3. Overprotective parenting. Children who grow up in greenhouse conditions are completely unsuitable for life. Such a child is unable to accept independent solutions and responsibility for their actions is incredibly frightening to them. Such a parenting model can lead a child to an inferiority complex and develop alcohol or drug addiction.

How to get rid of an inferiority complex?

Despite the fact that Wayne Dyer's book How to Get Rid of an Inferiority Complex was published in 2015, even ordinary people and lovers of self-development literature came to the conclusion that the title was too loud. In fact, this manual is for those who doubt their abilities and do not know how to properly manage their lives, but the book does not give recommendations in essence and title.

Treatment for the inferiority complex has not yet been invented, so it is useless to fight it. But! It is worth considering that the situation is not at all a stalemate, on the contrary, you can derive considerable benefits from your complex:

• For example, according to Alfred Adler, an inferiority complex can lead to success.
• As mentioned in the article above, a person who has signs of an inferiority complex is able to compensate for his lack at the expense of other advantages.

Sigmund Freud admired the king of Prussia and the last German emperor, Wilhelm II. He suffered from an inferiority complex due to a physiologically congenital "deformity": one arm was 15 cm shorter than the second. Not experiencing compensation in maternal love, he achieved incredible heights, but he never forgave his parent for such an attitude.

Unfortunately, a person cannot get rid of an inferiority complex. Once having experienced a mental trauma, he will not be able to let go of this feeling of acquired inferiority, and subconsciously will return to this.

With the help of psychologists, it can be blunted or suppressed, but sooner or later it will still make itself felt. Psychologists such as Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler and Carl Jung came to this conclusion.

If you think about it, all successful individuals have experienced an inferiority complex. This is not a reason to fall into despair, as you have already understood, the main thing is to correctly sublimate your potential, aimed at compensating for an inferiority complex.

There are many apt examples where trauma has motivated many of today's famous personalities. For example, Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Marilyn Monroe and Pamela Anderson were sexually abused as children, and Tim Roth recently admitted that he was abused by his own grandfather. And yet, despite this, these people have achieved considerable heights. There is only one conclusion: you never need to “give up” and then you can solve any problem, including coping with an inferiority complex.

An inferiority complex can be due to various reasons - the attitude of parents, criticism from the side of people around them, frequent "failures". To deal with them, you need to follow the recommendations.

Almost every person knows what self-doubt is, the feeling of worthlessness and uselessness. Often, these feelings arise in difficult situations that cannot be dealt with. In other words, an "inferiority complex" appears.

What is it, what are its distinctive features, features and how to get rid of it? Each reader will be able to find out the answers to these questions from the article.

What it is

An inferiority complex is the experience of one's uselessness for the people around and inferiority. It is he who is the main cause of all emerging nerves. It seems to a person that he is a defective thing, which, in case of uselessness, can be thrown into the trash.

If you do not get rid of this syndrome in time, then it can cause:

• destruction of family life;
• lead to personal misfortune;
• undermine relationships with friends, relatives and loved ones;
• provoke problems at work and in relationships with the second half.

Inferiority complex

An inferiority complex is accompanied by a number of symptoms, which include:

• demonstration of certain signals - with their use, a person suffering from low self-esteem wants to attract the attention of people who surround him;
• another hallmark there is a lack of communication, contacts;
• fear of committing an offense or making a mistake;
• constant self-criticism, dissatisfaction with one's own affairs;
• belittling the merits, achieved heights;
• being in constant tension in adolescents.

Attention! Such a complex in many cases causes defects in oral speech.

The lack of faith in oneself is the reason for the impossibility of realizing one's own inclinations. People who are seriously suffering from this complex, when communicating with others, use a “mask” that protects them from feeling their own uselessness.

The cause of the syndrome are doubts about their perfection. An inferiority complex is based on one or more flaws in a person. Often they are imaginary - fictional on their own.

The reasons for the development of the above complex may be different:

• unhappy childhood life;
• negative suggestions from other people. Most may say “you will not be able to achieve anything”, “you are a loser”, etc.;
• frequent criticism expressed by people who matter in life (older brother or sister, parents or idols);
• lack of luck;
• negative self-esteem.

Surprisingly, the lack of self-confidence for some people becomes an incentive for their own self-improvement. They find a way to get rid of inferiority and overcome difficulties.

In men

The reason for the development of an inferiority complex in men are often physiological deficiencies. Defective males try to replace them by spending hours on grueling workouts.

Other reasons for the loss of self-confidence in men include:

• defective genitals;
• critical statements from a partner;
• intimacy failures.

All this leads to the fact that a person closes in on himself, stops all communication with female representatives, believing that he cannot lead a sexual life.

For men, motherly love is especially important. It is she who has the greatest impact on self-esteem and personality of a person.

A man who did not receive support from his mother in childhood and adolescence, most likely, will not be able to realize himself in the future.

Psychologists have noted a trend - the development of an inferiority complex in men increases many times during a decline in the economy and unemployment.

Financial well-being is a reference point indicating the solvency and success of a person. If the need for decent wages is not satisfied for a long period of time, then an inferiority complex arises.

Among women

An inferiority complex in women develops due to various factors:

1. disadvantages appearance . Often they are absent, and girls simply find fault with their appearance. However, the fact remains - most of the notorious persons suffer because of their figure, face or hair condition.
2. Sexual dissatisfaction. A girl always wants to remain desirable, if the partner does not show due attention to her or constantly criticizes her, then she becomes closed, experiences begin on this occasion, often leading to tantrums and depression.
3. Family problems. It is no secret that most girls want to have a strong and friendly family, it is not so easy to create it alone. Due to family troubles, many women lose faith in themselves, in their abilities.
4. Lack of career growth. Some of the female representatives do not work, but act as housewives. This does not suit many, they believe that they could not achieve independence in life, since they have no career behind them.
5. Treason. obsession that the partner is cheating is one of the main reasons that cause complexes.

Alfred Adler believed that an inferiority complex often develops in girls. This is due to several factors:

• emotionality;
• isolation in oneself;
• rapid mood swings;
• shyness.

The child has

A similar syndrome often begins to develop in children. For this, a "push" is needed, which will give rise to the development of the complex. They may become:

1. The presence of physical defects. An inferiority complex often develops in people with disabilities.
2. Increased care and guardianship from parents. This does not allow the child to learn to make decisions on his own, which is the cause of dissatisfaction with himself in the future.
3. Instant disappointment in one's own abilities.

To overcome their isolation and feelings of insignificance, psychologists recommend:

1. Get rid of the created ideals, do not equal the people around you. Remember every small victory is a personal achievement.
2. Don't blame yourself if something didn't work out. No wonder they say that they learn from mistakes, thanks to them a person becomes stronger.
3. Forget about insults and insults.
4. Set yourself some goals, try to achieve them, develop.

Diagnosis and treatment

Diagnosis of an inferiority complex includes an appeal to a psychotherapist. An individual conversation is held with the client, after which the level of self-esteem of a person and the degree of his complexes are determined. For diagnostics, a specially developed list of questions is used, consisting of thirty provisions.

The main method of treatment is that it is necessary to start life from scratch. Psychologists recommend getting rid of all past grievances and failures, deciding what do you want to achieve in this life?

How to deal with complexity:

1. Try to convince yourself that you can achieve what you want. To do this, set yourself not only global, but also some small tasks. For example, for girls who have a complex about their figure - run 100 meters a day. This is not difficult, but the result will be noticeable immediately.
2. Connect with other people, support them and never be jealous e. Envy is a feeling that provokes the appearance of an inferiority complex. Dealing with it is not easy, but it is within the power of each person.

What to do? In addition to the general tips listed above, it is recommended to engage in sports activities, find for yourself an exciting activity, build a daily schedule and eat only healthy food. All this together will certainly give an excellent result.

Thus, everyone can get rid of the inferiority complex, you just have to want to. It is not so easy to cope on your own, but together with the help of a psychologist or psychotherapist it is much easier.
