Inferiority complex generally refers to a person's mentality of despising oneself due to physical defects or certain psychological defects, and believes that oneself is inferior to others in some aspects. Inferiority has an important impact on interpersonal communication. In childhood, if we are asked to do something very difficult, we may feel incompetent because we are unable to achieve it, which will lead to painful experiences. If this happens too much, a feeling of inferiority may develop. When people develop a sense of inferiority in social interactions, they tend to become isolated, isolated, lose self-confidence, lack a sense of honor, etc. . Usually, if a person shows depression, pessimism, and withdrawn mood, he may be associated with a sense of inferiority. But there is also the opposite situation, for example, when a certain defect of a person is ridiculed or insulted by people: this inferiority complex will be expressed in abnormal ways such as anger and self-deception. People with severe low self-esteem will also be hostile to others and look down on everyone. \x0d\\x0d\Generally speaking, people with severe social inferiority complex are mostly introverts. They have fragile emotions, profound experiences, and are sentimental. They often feel ashamed of themselves and feel inferior to others. They always feel that others look down on them, and they are particularly afraid of others hurting them. They are obviously more sensitive than ordinary people, and this feeling is particularly strong. They cannot withstand any stimulation, so they avoid everything, retreat everywhere, dare not show up, and are afraid of making a fool of themselves in public. In fact, people with low self-esteem are not necessarily poor in physical or ability, and may be much better than those who are arrogant and complacent. So, how do they form their inferiority complex in social interactions?\x0d\\x0d\First, insufficient self-understanding and underestimation of themselves. Everyone always uses others as a mirror to understand themselves, which means that people always understand their own strengths and weaknesses based on others' evaluations of themselves and by comparing themselves with others. Introverts are unwilling to accept high evaluations from others, but are willing to accept lower evaluations from others. For example, when others say that he is very good, he always does not believe it and thinks that other people's evaluation is high. In the process of comparing with others, they are more accustomed to comparing their own shortcomings with the strengths of others. Of course, the more they compare, the more they feel inferior to others, and the more they compare, the more discouraged they are, which will lead to a sense of inferiority. Because they like to reflect on themselves, they know more about their own shortcomings, so they strive for self-improvement and are eager to correct their shortcomings. Therefore, they are stricter with themselves, but the more strict they are, the more they feel that they are insufficient and they only see their own shortcomings. And ignore one's own advantages, which will form a negative self-evaluation. Day after day, this cycle continues, making me more and more afraid of interacting with others. \x0d\\x0d\Second, negative self-suggestion inhibits self-confidence in social interactions. When we face a new situation in a relationship, we will first evaluate whether we have the ability to cope with it. When we arrive in a new class, we may think about where our grades will rank in the class, whether we can have good interpersonal relationships with others, etc. If you cannot correctly understand yourself, you will often have a feeling of "I can't do it." Such negative self-suggestion will reduce your self-confidence, so you will always feel nervous and create psychological burden. You will be unable to let go of your hands and feet in social interactions, thus limiting the performance of your abilities. The more this happens, the harder it will be to interact with others, leading to social failure. This result will form a kind of negative feedback, which will deepen the negative self-understanding of the person with low self-esteem and form a fixed negative self-suggestion. This vicious cycle will further deepen the sense of inferiority. \x0d\\x0d\Third, the impact of setbacks. After people suffer setbacks, they may have various reactions, such as rising up to resist, or giving in and compromising, etc. Some people become negative and pessimistic after suffering some kind of setback. Especially for introverts, due to low nerve tolerance, some minor setbacks will give him an unbearable blow and make him feel inferior. Originally, failing an exam is nothing, but they may feel that the end of the world is coming, that they will be discredited, that everything will be over, etc. \x0d\\x0d\Fourth, physiological deficiencies. Physical defects can also cause people to feel inferior. For example, some people are shy to interact with others because of their short stature or average appearance; some people often shy away from social interactions because they cannot correctly treat their social status and occupation. \x0d\\x0d\Serious inferiority complex can cause psychological abnormalities and cause great harm to work, study and life.
But the inferiority complex is not irreducible. You can start from the following aspects: \x0d\\x0d\ First, understand yourself objectively and improve your self-evaluation. Be good at discovering your own strengths and affirming your achievements. Evaluate yourself and others objectively, treat your own shortcomings and deficiencies correctly, and actively participate in various social activities. You know, everyone has flaws and strengths. If a person has no shortcomings, he or she is not a complete person. \x0d\\x0d\Second, correctly understand social inferiority complex and enhance the confidence to overcome it. In interpersonal interactions, people with low self-esteem are much more likable than arrogant people. Because they are often very humble, considerate of others, rarely compete with others for fame and fortune, are calm and easy-going, cautious, prudent and meticulous in doing things. Most people trust them and are happy to get along with them. People with low self-esteem should realize these advantages of their own. As long as they believe that they can overcome their inferiority complex, they will be able to succeed. \x0d\\x0d\Third, carry out positive self-suggestion and self-encouragement. Positive self-suggestion means that even when you are in a disadvantageous position, you should encourage yourself and enhance your confidence, instead of thinking too much about how sad you will be after failure, how embarrassed you will be in front of others, etc. Because these negative emotions can make people lose courage and confidence. At the same time, you should also pay attention to hinting to yourself that you should not have too high expectations for everything, but start by achieving small goals and gaining small satisfaction. Only by continuously gaining the confidence to win from small successes can we gradually get rid of the shadow of inferiority and move towards self-confidence. \x0d\\x0d\Fourth, actively interact with others. By actively interacting with others, you will feel the joys and sorrows of others, and your mind will become broader. You can talk to others, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and understand yourself correctly through comparison. In particular, consciously strengthening interactions with people who are cheerful, optimistic, open-minded, respectful and caring will be more beneficial to overcoming social inferiority complex. \x0d\\x0d\You have had a successful past, which is enough to prove that your ability is no worse than other students. As long as you know yourself correctly and make friends with teachers and classmates honestly, you will definitely be able to regain your confidence.
