Визначення та Значення "inferiority complex"

What is an "inferiority complex"?

An inferiority complex is a feeling of not being good enough or valuable, even when evidence suggests otherwise. Individuals with an inferiority complex may constantly compare themselves to others and believe they are inferior or less capable in various aspects of life. This belief can lead to feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence in one's abilities. It may also influence behavior, causing individuals to seek validation or try too hard in certain areas to prove their worthiness. Therapy, self-reflection, and building self-esteem are common approaches to overcoming an inferiority complex.
