The inferiority complex – Radio Monaco
You may feel that you sometimes feel inferior to others. Lynda Breakour personal development coach gives us some advice on the inferiority complex.
A deep pain
The words you can say to yourself cause deep pain. But also a drop in self-esteem. And so, as a result, a drop in self-confidence. Constantly comparing yourself leads you to diminish yourself, devalue yourself or even criticize yourself.
The keys
First of all, you must understand that it is your beliefs about yourself that feed this malaise. There is often a disconnect between what you think of yourself and who you are.
Try to change your words by encouraging you, by being more kind to you.
Then, this feeling of inferiority / comparison is integrated by our educational conditioning.
Getting good grades, behaving well, succeeding in school and sports. And to know if what you are doing is perfect you will then you comparator. As soon as the school is noted to you! Just because you’re not the first doesn’t affect your worth as a person.
The idea is to learn to validate and value yourself, therefore to recognize your skills and qualities.
To do this, list your talents, your qualities… and try to develop these skills. Remember who you really are.
Self-confidence
Self-confidence is clearly the passage to action whether in doing or being. Dare to be who you are, dare to do what feels right, dare to do the things you doubt you are capable of. You can also set yourself challenges to move towards your goals.
