If you want to change yourself, you need to maintain confidence at all times. For anyone who wants to succeed, confidence is the most important thing. When we fall into self-doubt and pessimism, we must encourage ourselves to believe in our self-worth and live in the best possible state. If there is a lack of confidence, hesitation in doing things, and a lack of competitive spirit, there will be no happiness, nor will there be the joy of success. It can be seen that self-doubt leads to a downward spiral and accelerates aging. Therefore, one should abandon the inferiority complex, objectively analyze and understand oneself, and thus overcome the psychology of inferiority.
So, how to overcome the psychology of inferiority?
First, objectively understand yourself.
List your strengths and weaknesses. By fully understanding your own situation, you can recognize that it is impossible for ordinary people to be perfect, and a person's value is mainly reflected in the efforts they make to achieve their goals. You should take an objective and rational attitude towards your failures, not be too harsh on yourself, but face reality with a positive attitude.
Second, shift your focus.
A person is neither perfect nor worthless. Instead of focusing on your weaknesses and failures, concentrate on the aspects you are most interested in and good at. The fun and sense of accomplishment it brings will enhance your confidence, dispel the shadow of inferiority, and alleviate your psychological stress and tension.
Third, identify the causes of inferiority.
This method can be carried out under the guidance of a psychologist. By recalling early memories, identify the causes of the inferiority complex, and let yourself understand that the inferiority complex is formed by some early experiences. The inferiority complex is based on illusions and has nothing to do with your reality, so it is unnecessary, which can fundamentally dismantle the inferiority complex.
Fourth, prove your abilities.
To see if a person is valuable, we often judge based on what they do, the achievements they can accomplish, and their value. Therefore, you can choose something less difficult and meaningful to do, and then find another goal, so that you can continuously reap the joy of success. In the joy of success, you can continue to move towards higher goals. Each success will enhance your confidence, weaken your inferiority complex, and a series of successes will solidify your confidence.
Fifth, use strengths to avoid weaknesses.
Everyone has many abilities. A person may have shortcomings in one aspect, but in another aspect, they can seek development. As long as a person has a positive attitude and can use strengths to avoid weaknesses, they will turn some of their shortcomings into motivation for continuous self-improvement, which often leads to development beyond ordinary people and eventually becoming outstanding.
In short, no one can be perfect, so there is no need to be too entangled with your shortcomings. People with an inferiority complex must fully understand themselves, avoid their shortcomings more, leverage their strengths more, and then choose to do things they are good at, slowly consolidating their confidence through successive successes.
