Self Expression

Inferiority

Inferiority

Feb 08, 2023

Feeling worthless because most of your peers your age have already accomplished so much, if someone younger is doing more or appears to know so much, or simply because your self-esteem has plummeted due to external expectations you place on yourself based on others...that is the feeling of inferiority.

I feel like this all the time, even though my group of friends is pretty successful, my brothers and sisters are doing so much with their lives, and even my exes are doing well without me. I try to pursue multiple activities in search of validation, whether from other people or from myself, to prove I'm worth something, am I correct? Who knows, but what is certain is that you should not base your self-worth on things like your job, income, or the number of houses you own.

Self-worth cannot be quantified with numbers; instead, you should base it on your principles, your accomplishments, and, most importantly, who you are. Slowly but steadily, it will work in your favor; little by little, you will begin to realize you are worth more than you thought you were; you will stop searching outside for validation and will take a glance from within for such value.

Stop focusing on what others say or think; are their words truly more important than yours? Listen to those who have something valuable to say concerning you, and ignore those who try to bring you down. Criticism is useful, but degrading yourself simply because someone said so isn't something you should strive for.

Strive to be better, if only by a small margin, work towards some of the goals you have set for yourself, even if it's just a tiny amount of progress, and you'll realize you are worth more than you ever thought you had been.

Having inferiority complex to accompany you throughout the day is something draining, try and listen to those who actually can help you be better, ignore the rest.

There are small things we try not to think about which cannot be avoided, such as our reactions to the world around us or ourselves, these are just a few of the thoughts that plague my head from time to time and a way for me to express my feelings out to the world.
