An inferiority complex is a feeling that one is inferior to others in some way. It is very often subconscious and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or acute antisocial behavior. Unlike a normal feeling of inferiority which can act as an incentive for achievement, an inferiority complex is an advanced state of discouragement sometimes resulting in a retreat from difficulties.

Do you suffer from complex of Inferiority? What do you think about this?

The normal feeling of inferiority acts as an incentive, so it's that it encourages and boosts you to achieve what you wanna reach (something you feel the other person has and that you so-much wanna have too)? Have I well understood? Whereas the complex itself is more serious and just makes you have the tendency of avoiding problems instead of tackling with them..?

Inferiority complex is like some kind of disease specially created for losers Don't embark yourself in such things because you must fight to be a strong person. I do my best to get rid of all kind of 'complex'

Not only losers feel inferior, children who have been mentally abused feel low sometimes. There parents and family told them so many harsh things that now they feel inferior.

How can it be a dangerous thing... You mean for the person him/herself? I guess that the antisocial behaviour and the constant avoiding of responsibilities and difficulties will not help the individual "progress" well in society..In this way I don't think it would be very dangerous, only not very positive for him/herself.
But it could become dangerous if a person would want to take revenge on anyone/some type of person he/she was feeling inferior to... Is this possible?

...Stacey in a bad mood today...

What about these people who always do things to appear inferior and always complain about it? I think that the complex of inferiority is just a matter of personality nothing more, nothing less ...

The thread question is : " Inferiority complex: is it a dangerous thing?". I was just thinking about the possible things that could make it "dangerous".. No one said it was..

okay I probably wrongly expressed myself, as usual.
okay I'll explain, the thread asks if inf. comp. can be a dangerous thing..I say
:"But it could become dangerous if a person would want to take revenge on anyone/some type of person he/she was feeling inferior to... Is this possible?"
ok I forgot the "maybe" part. Maybe it could become dangerous if...etc.. Now, I wasn't sure if I was talking sh*t, so I asked if it is possible, that is, if my thought is plausible. lolll.
And yes, I mentionned the word "dangerous". But I am asked, MYSELF,"who said it"! lol, I don't think Splash planned to ask me that, knowing that it's MYSELF who said it.
