Thar Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm in a pretty low stage of my life right now, but even so, part of me wishes it was lower just so people can be better off than me. The feeling of being more fortunate than others makes me feel like I don't deserve it as much as them, and that thought is always scrambling in my head. Hell, there are times where I just wanna cripple myself just to make others feel better about themselves since my condition isn't theirs. But alas, I'm too much of a coward to take on that kind of pain, and I always feel an internal struggle because of it. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 can i say get help? cause i'm pretty sure you might need some. ot: I pretty sure I have a Superiority Complex. I love it when others are wrong and I get to shove it in their faces. I also hate being wrong, but if I'm being reasonable I can accept it. Otherwise I get super duper anxious whenever someone is looking over something that I've done. Now, I don't like hurting others or seeing others hurt or anything, I abhor physical violence. I also think if I could run things, I could run them better than anyone else, even though in reality I probably couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Occasionally I get an inferiority complex but not as much often. Usually if I feel I haven't accomplished anything recently and compare that one moment to a relative's life achievements. I'm usually on the opposite side, I get superiority complexes when I feel be out I am one of the eldest in a room or in a chat, which happens quite often at home. Though haven't had any long term inferiority/superiority complexes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that as long as someone else's life is better because I wasn't there to overshadow them, I feel better about myself. I don't like being more fortunate than others while knowing they deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing: I've actually seen several people about the same issue, and none of them were any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugendramon Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 The internet is famous known to lure in people with inferiority complexes and nuture them to gross proportions. I had to see it as such before I understood it could very well just be in my head and actually stopped drowning in a glass of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Another thing: I've actually seen several people about the same issue, and none of them were any help.you have to want to change, that's the thing. you have to realize there's something wrong with you and be willing to change it.i mean everyone's a little crazy, and the fact is that people can't be perfect... ....... it's just.. you might have the thought of hurting yourself again; probably will, hell maybe even more than once. why? who knows. if you do.. and you can't find a reason not to.. you could end up seriously hurting yourself.i was in a darker place than i am now. i used never check my blood sugar, never give myself my insulin. why? maybe.. maybe i thought it would spite my grandmother if i somehow survived without doing it, i don't know. maybe i just was a coward. too chicken not to and too chicken to just get it over with. i'll be honest; i was a little depressed and i had sorta let myself get that way cause after my mom's death sure we went to a therapist, but.. it never felt like i could really talk to them.. and maybe back then i just didn't want to. my doctor was ready to pull me off my pump the next time we saw each other. so i'm lucky as hell the parcc testing came around and one of the days just happened to be the day i was supposed to go cause that would have been the time. about 2 months after school let out for me, i started seeing a therapist. why? i knew there was something wrong with and I knew I had to change to be able to live much longer. .... I just.. I don't want you to end up in that dark place. ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Bishop Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 The reality of life, is that there will always be someone worse off than you. Whether it be strangers or someone you personally know, someone will always be worse off than you are. You mention wanting to cripple yourself in order to make others feel better about themselves - rather than doing this, why don't you try to help others? Helping people may make you feel better about yourself and it will certainly make other people feel better about themselves too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 The internet is famous known to lure in people with inferiority complexes and nuture them to gross proportions. I had to see it as such before I understood it could very well just be in my head and actually stopped drowning in a glass of water. Pretty much this, the internet or your general environment can play a crucial role in your development and how you see things/how you feel about yourself. Every time I used to go on art sites for inspiration I usually always came out absolutely hating myself because I wasn't as good as some of these people that I looked up, at the same time I would also see people with truly insane skill "wasting" it on bullshit my little pony drawings. But now that I've been able to actually get out of my own head I've realized that in time I'll be as good, and if I can't then I've enjoyed myself along the way doing sheet that I enjoy, and well, if some of those people legitimately find joy in drawing my little pony sheet, than who the funk am I to tell them otherwise.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Everyone has something they are better than average at. And really if you're better than average at one thing, that's pretty damn good I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have minimal confidence and boosters. If i peak my bead out of the small pond that i feel not totally small in, I feel like I'll die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I suppose I have an inherent inferiority complex from hating myself. But I recognize it really is all in my head and that other people see worth in me, I just have to help me get over myself and these random bursts of feeling like I'm an awful person.
