Feeling inferior to others stems from multiple factors that
gradually build themselves into a person's whole character. The
results of verbal, physical, and emotional abuse can have
long-lasting, psychologically damaging effects on a person, making
them believe in being less deserving and accepting by others.
It takes much self realization, confidence in the self, and acceptance
of the things one cannot change to break away from any form of
inferiority complex. The positive side is that it is possible to avoid
developing an inferiority complex, no matter the challenges life has
thrown you, and in this article, you'll learn how to build up your
resilience.
!! Steps !!
The corporate ladder can be strewn with hidden agendas Look
carefully for any hidden agendas [1]. Most frequently people who like
intimidating others often do so to further their own ends. Keeping
someone uninformed or less knowledgeable often helps strengthen the
perpetrator's sense of well-being at your expense. For example,
someone who makes you feel inferior at work may perhaps have their
eye on an upcoming promotion by strengthening their own position and
they achieve this by making you feel inadequate and unsuitable for
moving up the career ladder. Look beyond the here and now and try
seeing the bigger picture. Awareness of such circumstances may well
prepare you to avoid falling prey into believing that you're not
capable.
* You are unique Be aware of criticism that involves
circumstances that you cannot change. This may involve criticizing
[2] you for your genetic makeup, such as disabilities, sexual
orientation, skin color, race, ethnic background, or any other
aspect over which a person has no control. This type of verbal
abuse very often leaves a person feeling emotionally scarred with
serious self esteem issues. This kind of criticism feeds
inadequacies and adds to the inferiority complex; given that it is
virtually impossible for someone to change their looks, race or
sexual orientation etc., victim often suffers great harm since
nothing or no solution to this form of mockery can be sought. When
subjected to this form of ruthless encounters, focus on your
uniqueness and draw on your own beliefs and values.
* Remain cautiously optimistic behind your invisible wall
Create an invisible wall around you in order to protect the
sanctity of your being. Strengthen your beliefs and strive to move
positively in a forward and more successful direction. Do not
allow yourself to be caught in self doubt [3] and conflicting
ideals which others try forcing onto you. In simple terms, learn
to ignore negative and damaging comments made against you. At the
back of your mind, adopt the notion that people are entitled to
their own opinions but equally you too have the right to filter or
discard negatively targeted opinion.
* It's good; I'd just suggest changing the angle for the
best appeal Be open to constructive criticism [4]. This is
generally good for self improvement and indirectly helps you to
become a more fruitful and stable person. Building on and
improving your weaknesses [5] is the best way to avoid feeling
inferior. Focusing on managing your weaknesses helps prevent
negative or emotionally draining accusations and comments from
being made or from dragging you down. Weigh the situation
objectively and decide for yourself the outcomes of such
criticism.
Work closely with people who make you feel good about yourself.
People who offer encouragement [6] and embrace you as essentially
human are precious and rare. Enjoy their wisdom and nourish yourself
from their example, while striving to become stronger and more
reliant on yourself in the process. Greater independence leads to
more self confidence [7]. A healthy self confidence in turn allows
you less dependence or reliance on others for determining your self
worth.
Love yourself [8] enough, but not to the point of arrogance.
Reward yourself, showing appreciation and respect for your own
uniqueness and potential positives you have accomplished and hope
to accomplish. Self sacrificial behavior can be good to a point
but not where it causes you to be exhausted, frustrated, or taken
advantage of.
* Stay focused, keep calm Maintain a neutral stance by
staying focused and keeping calm. Know your your own limitations
and work well with your strengths [9]. Steer clear of any person
or situation that will drag you down emotionally and create doubt
in your own capabilities as an individual.
* Find your happy self instead Refrain from or avoid
bitterness and anger [10]. These negative emotions are energy
draining and set you back, depleting your self esteem, wasting
precious energy. Re-track your thoughts when angry and bitter,
focusing on another starting point with the aim of succeeding and
moving forward. Remember your self-worth and worry less [11].

!! Tips !!
* Believe and continue to believe in the power of self healing
within you.
* Start now in an attempt to improve. Procrastinating in the hope
that your self esteem will change does no good for improving and
breaking away from the inferiority complex.
* Motivate yourself by reading self help literature or books.
* Feeling inferior stems from a poor self confidence that makes one
more prone and sensitive to negative suggestions and ridicule.
!! Warnings !!
* Bitterness reinforces your negative traits, leaving you stuck in a
rut, with little or no way forward. Your energy gets consumed,
leaving you wasted and as a result you may end up taking a few
steps backward rather than forward.
