Even sucessful people may actually owe their success to this sense of inadequacy or this desire to overcompensate for past alleged failures or weaknesses. It is very easy for a child to develop an inferiority complex and at times very difficult to overcome it, even as a grownup.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/04/03/19/41/cloud-705728_960_720.png\" /></p>\n<p> Plant in a child the idea that s/he is incompetent, worthless or not as good as others and you'll get an insecure adult who may never be able to achieve much in life or will carry that dark cloud of insecurity and resentment with him for a good part of their lives.</p>\n<p>Inferiority complex can start at home or as soon as children start interacting with other kids in a day care, with relatives, or at school.</p>\n<p>Whenever a child does something that is not well received by the group or worse yet, becomes the object of derision or mockery, s/he will internalize the idea that s/he is incompetent or that s/he should avoid doing that again. That's how some children avoid singing or dancing, for instance if they feel that they are not as good as others and that only excellence in such activities will provoke positive feedback.</p>\n<p>That's why in some cultures it is so important to encourage children with applauses and positive words, even when they perform \"poorly\" in artistic or physical activities. Other cultures are more strict and demanding and heavy criticism or indifference will rain over those who do not perform up to pre-established standards.</p>\n<p>As kids grow, they will face more challenges and more situations in which their talents and limitations will be evidenced and depending on their audience's reaction they will reinforce either a strong magnetic and assertive personality or a rather self-effacing one.</p>\n<p>Sexuality is probably one of the most dramatic and important aspect of any human being and sexual awakening may be the source of most complexes. The perception of our bodies as attractive or not, and how we perform sexually (at least how that performance is perceived by the partner) may make a big difference in a person's self-esteem.</p>\n<p>The role of friends and family is key in helping children and adults alike deal with inferiority complexes. They can be reversed as easily as they sunk in if the proper measures are taken and if the proper positive messages are sent and reinforced.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3czmqgaq","appParentAuthor":"citimillz","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
