Don't let inferiority ruin your life

People with inferiority complex always feel inferior to others and look down on themselves. "I can't", "I have no hope", "I will fail" and other words are always on the lips. People with inferiority often have strong self-esteem. Self-inferiority and self-esteem often conflict, which will cause extremely impetuous psychology. Everyone has ever had the idea of inferiority complex, but don't let this dangerous idea dominate you. You should believe that you will overcome the inferiority complex.

In 1951, Franklin, an Englishman, discovered the helical structure of DNA from the X-ray diffraction picture of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which he had taken very clearly. However, Franklin was born with inferiority complex and suspicious, always doubting the reliability of his argument, and finally gave up his previous hypothesis. But just two years later, Horsen and Crick also found the molecular structure of DNA from the photos, and put forward the hypothesis of double helix structure of DNA. The proposition of this hypothesis marks the beginning of the biological era, so it won the 1962 Nobel Prize in medicine. If Franklin was a positive and confident man, believed in his hypothesis, and continued to conduct in-depth research, this great discovery would always be recorded in his name.

It is obvious that inferiority will lead to failure. So, what is inferiority complex?

Self-abasement is a negative self-evaluation or self-awareness. A person with low self-esteem often underestimates his image, ability and quality, always compares his weakness with the strength of others, feels that he is inferior to others in everything, and is ashamed of himself in front of others, thus losing confidence, being pessimistic and disappointed, not enterprising, and even sinking.

For people with inferiority complex, the cerebral cortex is in a state of inhibition for a long time, but there are few happy and happy benign stimulation conversion, the central system is in a state of numbness, and the physiological functions of various organs in the body are not fully mobilized, unable to play their due role; At the same time, the function of the endocrine system also loses its normal state, and the secretion of harmful hormones increases accordingly; The function of the immune system is decreased, and the disease resistance is also decreased, which changes the physiological process of people, and causes various symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, anxiety, slow response, memory loss, loss of appetite, early white hair, haggard face, wrinkled skin, loose teeth, low sexual function and other symptoms. That is to say, inferiority complex, which is harmful to health, urges you to go downhill on the way to life and accelerate your aging process.

There are many reasons for inferiority complex, but the main reasons are as follows:

  1. Self-awareness is insufficient, and you overestimate yourself.

Everyone always sees others as a mirror to understand themselves, that is, people always know their strengths and weaknesses according to the evaluation of others and their comparison with others. If others make a low evaluation of themselves, especially the evaluation of more authoritative people, it will affect their own understanding of themselves, and they will also underestimate themselves. Psychologists have found that more introverted people are willing to accept others' underestimation rather than others' overestimation. In the process of comparing with others, introverted people also tend to compare their own weaknesses with others' strengths. Of course, the more they compare, the more they feel inferior to others. The more frustrated they compare, the more inferiority complex they will feel.

  1. Negative self - suggestion suppresses self-confidence.

When everyone is faced with a new situation, they will first measure their ability to cope with it. Introverted people often feel "I can't" because of their lack of self-awareness. Because of such a negative self-suggestion in advance, it will inhibit self-confidence, increase tension, and create psychological burden. In learning and communication, they dare not let go of their hands and feet, and will limit the development of their ability, and the work effect will be inevitably poor. This result will form a negative feedback effect, which will affect the future behavior, and also confirm the negative self-awareness of the inferiority complex, making the inferiority complex become a fixed negative self-suggestion, thus creating a vicious circle and further aggravating the inferiority complex.

  1. The impact of setbacks.

After suffering setbacks, people may have various reactions, such as resistance, compromise or stubbornness. After some setbacks, some people will become negative and pessimistic, especially introverts, because of their high sensitivity and low tolerance to nervousness, a slight setback will give him a heavy blow, making him become inferiority complex.

  1. Physiological deficiencies.

Physical defects have obvious effects on psychological aspects. For example, some people feel inferior because of their small size or ugly appearance; Some people feel inferior because of their physical disability.
