Inferiority Complex - Yadav Singh Dhami

Just before writing this piece, I was reading another article, and there I saw these two words. I already knew about this word but don’t know why it got my attention.

After that, I did a web search, and a long text was shown by the search engine (I don’t want to mention the name because they did not pay me to promote them). Then it hit my mind that maybe I am also suffering from it.

It talked about childhood criticism, self-doubt, deep-seated beliefs, worthiness, and more. When relating to all my experiences, I can relate to all those things because it felt like that term was talking about me.

Most of the time, I don’t feel that I have an inferiority complex, but when I am alone or when the internet is not working 😁, my mind thinks about this kind of stuff.

I used to completely relate to it in the past, but now it’s only about 50% (my own calculation (I am very bad at math), as I have not used any measuring tool or visited any therapy). I still have those kinds of thoughts these words talk about, but now I keep myself busy learning something new every day. And yes, when the internet is not working, I find something to do like

  • Watering the plants I have kept in my room and my recently adopted hobby,
  • Watching the clouds, which is seen clearly from my rooftop,
  • Make myself a cup of tea and enjoy looking at the trees outside my window.
  • Reading books that have been staying on my shelves since the day I bought them (yes, I do read books)

And yes, this topic (inferiority complex) may be talked about by many, and you can find many blogs and articles about it online. But it is time to hear or read it on my blog also.

And yes, this is what I found online about it.

An inferiority complex is a long-term psychological state of inadequacy that goes beyond normal insecurity, often rooted in childhood experiences or social comparison, and manifests in withdrawal or compensatory behaviors. It is distinct from temporary self-doubt because of its pervasive and debilitating impact on self-esteem and functioning.

Smile :(:

Schrodinger  Smile :): That's what I do these days. Just Smile... Because I saw somewhere that smile makes easier to forget your pain. Maybe its helpful to others but not for me its more of Pain. Due to this smile I feel like I am a different person now, whom I love but don't know. I used to know myself in those days when everything was good (I thought it was good). Those were good days without any obstacle, smooth. but in that path slipped. That slip took everything away from me and now there is this hole left inside me. So I Smile :):
