“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt

We are human beings so it is normal to feel inferior to other people from time to time   However,  if you regularly feel   ‘ less than‘ other people on a daily basis, it may be time to clear out some old negative beliefs and mouldy old thought patterns.

With the growth of Social media, it has become so easy to  fall into the bad habit of  comparing ourselves unfavourably to other people.  This can show up in the fact that we may feel not as attractive, intelligent, slim, rich, popular or good enough as  other people.

Feeling Inferior to other  People does not Feel Good.

When you feel inferior to other people, it doesn’t feel good emotionally.   It is almost like you are wearing a big black dark cloak over your personality, ashamed of who you are. Our minds also play tricks on us, convincing us that other people also see perceive us  as being inferior.  As a result, we also start to expect that other people see us in a negative light.

The truth is that we are all equal.  It is only our beliefs that set us apart.  If you believe your are good enough, you will be good enough.  If you believe you are inferior to other people, you will both act inferior, plus attract people into your life who make you feel inferior.  Remember, life is like a photocopier.  Whatever you believe about yourself, you will experience in your life.

Here are some quick tips to help you let go of feeling inferior

  • Remember, we are all created equal.  Ok, there will be people on this earth who may be more attractive or slimmer than you but don’t downgrade yourself – this doesn’t make them better than you.   It just makes them different.
  • Choose to let go of unworthiness and worthiness. They are just old mouldy thoughts and patterns. They simply are not true. You really are as good as anyone else.  Don’t put other people on a pedestal.
  • If you experience feelings of inferiority, stop and acknowledge that this is just an old thought pattern.  It is just SPAM and it simply is not true. Soothe yourself downstream by reaching for a soothing word or words of encouragement that will help you feel better.
  • Write a list of all the things you have accomplished in your life and focus on your own accomplishments, rather than those of other people.
