Most people still can overcome difficulties, rise up and start again from the beginning. However, in special cases, the inferiority complex can acquire painful traits. There is a violation of the psyche and requires the help of a specialist.
Feeling of inferiority.
In everyday life, a lot of situations in which a person can feel incomplete. For example: at work the head at colleagues reproaches for the made mistake. A man is ridiculed because of sluggishness, slovenliness. The person begins to be jealous and feels rejected, because it seems to him that his partner pays more attention to another person. It often seems to the child that school teachers are more fond of other students, parents pay dearly to their brother or sister, but they do not pay attention to him at all. Housewives suffer because of a lack of proper evaluation of their hard everyday work. Unemployed do not feel full members of society. Athletes are criticized for not achieving the results they were expected of and about which it was announced in advance. In fact, the greatest pain to a person is caused by his reconciliation with an imaginary evaluation of other people. Having looked at himself through the eyes of other people, he begins to evaluate himself in the way that others evaluate him. Negative evaluation contributes to the creation of an inferiority complex.
A correct view of inferiority
Each person overcomes the inferiority complex in his own way. In the event of danger, some people begin to demonstrate their positive qualities, trying to be better than others, or even to show aggression and show contempt for another person. But there are people who are starting to retreat in threatening situations, and when they need anything, they try to hide. The result of this behavior can be fear, severe depression. But the goal of any behavior is one - a person wants to not lose confidence in himself and protect himself from humiliation, other possible consequences.
Possible causes of inferiority.
Many psychologists believe that a small child, due to his impotence and complete dependence on his family, floods a similar feeling already at the very beginning of his life. The power of feelings depends on the family, on how the parent is brought up by the child. There are two extreme ways of education.
Strict upbringing
If a child is brought up in great rigor, often punished, constantly showing parental authority, he feels unloved and inferior.
Excessive concern
If a child is too spoiled, over-cared for, all obstacles are removed from his path, then left alone, he feels completely powerless and insignificant.

This complex at certain periods of life is completely normal. Many people easily get rid of it, but sometimes a person does not have enough strength, he can break and not overcome it. With the help of special therapy, you can learn to be aware of the previously experienced fear or insult, to experience it again, and then to understand that these are past experiences that you need to get rid of.
