Overcoming an inferiority complex? Anyone else have it?

Question

I have had this problem since my early teens. Everyone else was better then me, and practically nothing I accomplished I felt I deserved, or I felt I could have done better. I was totally jealous of girls thinner then me, who had beauty and people who had personality and humor, none of which I felt I had. I would always feel some tinge jealousy for friends or people I knew that had succeeded in some way. I know this stems from my mom since she has low self-esteem and always critizing her looks and has a negative view to everything. Do you have a similar problem? How the heck do you get over it its just making life h**l to live with.

Answer 1

i think everyone has gotta feel this way at some point in their life. i know i do. and, yea..it does stem from my mom too. i just kind of try to ignore it now and 'look on the bright side' even though i know there really isn't one. i just hope that you stay strong for yourself cause things get better along the way, trust me, they will. (they can't get any worse!)

much love

Answer 2

Its going to be very painful to get over this.

Change is never easy, and I myself have a similar problem.

The only thing I can recommend is to say constantly, everyday, 10 times when you wake up in the morning and 10 times when you sleep...."I am a worthy person. I like myself, and others like me as well. I am thankful for so much that I have"

start believing in yourself ... don`t start big just try interacting with people you don`t know ... change something you don`t like about yourself , dunno a new haircut ... everyone has a great part , you just need to find it ... the first steps are the hardest but afterwards you`ll see it`s not that hard :D good luck and chin up

Hi.. it sounds like your self-esteem is really suffering.  I was wondering if you spend time in therapy with the psychiatrist... and if you talk about things which you feel.  If not, maybe you could ask the psychiatrist about seeing a therapist who deals specifically with people your own age?

It's tough living with someone who is negative all the time.  I hope you can get the help you deserve.  Websites below if you are interested.  I'm not sure if the third one is useful, but i listed it just in case.
