is having a inferiority complex really that bad of a thing to have?

[DrX]

I been studying this and came to the conclusion I have one...and i was in denial @ first but i pretty much exhibit all the symptoms....and then I thought it....it helps me thrive....It makes a person want to better themselves until they're on top



i think the person that coined this phrase was just weak and didn't want to compete...IMO its healthy to have an attitude where u want to be the best....weak ppl just like stopping strong ppl from winning

in other words it means you're not a sucka


no such thing as an inferiority complex....don't let titles stop u from achieving greatness

Being competitive and feeling inferior are two different things.

No fkin way breh. In my experience dudes with inferiority complexes are jealous underachievers who can be destructive and hyper aggressive.



What you described sounds like being competitive which is a healthy and positive attribute, imo

I would think having an inferiority complex would prevent you from setting high goals for yourself and reaching them, since you feel that you can't reach them and don't deserve the best out of life.

Nah it's better to have a superiority complex because you make it your life's goal to be better than everyone at everything. You make it your job not to lose

To be honest I don't feel like anyone is better than me at anything until they prove it

Not saying I'm the best but in my mind I am

Inferiority complex to whom? You might be in the early developing stages of becoming a Procyon lotor(google it). And do you think it's okay to have a superiority complex?

I have a drive to utterly crush my competition and be better than everything else yes.

The devil is in the details...we get so caught up in the langague that what's really being said gets lost. I think I understand what he's saying...you could say that keeping yourself from being inferior to this or that person is motivation...but an inferiority complex to me is more like a maze of limitation.

Complex:
3. In psychoanalysis, a group of related, often repressed ideas and impulses that compel characteristic or habitual patterns of thought, feelings, and behavior.

That doesn't necessarily point to an inferiority complex - I'd say a person with an inferiority complex is exactly the latter part of your opening post. A "person who is weak and doesn't want to compete" so therefore uses people he considers "superior" to himself as reasons/excuses as to why he cannot succeed, and finds bitter comfort in considering himself inferior.

What you are I'd say is a perfectionist. You have a need to be better all the time, there's always a way you can be better. That's not necessarily a good thing either though because the pursuit of perfection is often a futile endeavor, as it's an ideal that in many cases cannot be reached - consistency and efficiency being the closest possible outcome.

I'd prefer the term rapist, because I rape my competition.
