Inferiority Complex

Hi Hivers đź‘‹
Quick one!!

You have inferiority complex, let me help you🙏

Personally, I think inferiority complex is the queen bitch of all complexes, personality disorders or psychological situations. I mean, tell me something worse than that…

Inferiority complex is that intense feeling of not being enough – smart enough, rich enough, pretty enough – and generally being inadequate, and you may not believe this but no one is actually immune to that sh!t (pardon my language – shey I’m your girl na).

Inferiority complex is that tiny little voice that makes some teens want to move into the back at the assembly queues in Secondary School when others ON THE SAME QUEUE were basically dying to come forward; as unbelievable and non-medical as this will sound, it is the reason we still have grown men who would rather pay a driver to hit on a lady they like for them rather than do it themselves.

That sh!t is crazy, and it's crazy because once a person accepts this inadequacy and disbelief in themselves, almost immediately, the entire situation cannonballs into a self-esteem problem; at this point, here are some signs you can tell you are going down that road:

You’re more comfortable being in the background and doing your thing from there, you know. You get invited with your church choir to a concert at another church, and as everyone else walks in, they’re given seats out in the front, but you’d rather stand outside until it's time for the performance. And you’re fine with that, as long as you can fade into the shadows.

Maybe this will only be funny, but an Inferiority complex is a modern-day witchcraft because when you have that complex in you, you are only truly happy when you feel you have done something better than someone else. The failure of people genuinely makes you comfortable and I cannot even begin to tell you how sad and bitter this is, because it doesn’t matter if the other person is a sibling or partner – you’ll be more comfortable when they’re not doing all that well. It’s just sad.

And, when you’ve got inferiority, you honestly think people are being shady or flattering you when they compliment you, so you don’t believe it. Look around and do the survey yourself. There are really pretty boys and hot girls who will NEVER take a compliment because they don’t think they’re anything close to what was just said of them.

I can’t go on, honestly. It's why I told you inferiority complex is the queen bitch of every other complex. It is very difficult living with it.

If you think you are suffering inferiority complex or someone is, here are simple steps I WANT YOU TO TAKE:

  1. You aren’t as good as everyone else, because they CAN’T be as good at you at what you do best. Let them do theirs. Don’t peek at everyone’s life and progress. Please, don’t. Your home girl got an iPhone 11 Pro Max? Leave it, babe. Or your buddy now rides a Lexus? Hold on, bro.

  2. Every human has faults. Just because they don’t tell you doesn’t mean it's not there.

  3. Other people are nervous too. They’re just able to hold themselves in. Do same.

  4. Ask yourself “What is the worse that could happen?” No one is going to beat you, snatch your life or knock your winds out for grinding in life.

  5. Don’t take everything personally. The world isn’t intentionally fighting you. It's your mind.

  6. Be proud of your mistakes as you are of your accomplishments. Shit always happens.

  7. And lastly, stay away from negative energy.

There! that’s it.
