Superiority Complex - I'm The King and How?

Alfred Adler, a pioneering psychologist, first recognised superiority complexes in his theory of individual psychology, and I will not be surprised if a sizable number of people in today’s time are affected by this syndrome. Since infancy, the problem of inferiority complexes has drawn more attention and been addressed because it somehow limits a person's potential.

But given how easy and quick it is to become famous in today’s time, it's equally important to be aware of the hidden pitfall of thinking oneself to be better than others. You might not even be conscious of the fact that how you view yourself can deeply have an impact on how you interact with others.

Strangely enough, sometimes we may just succumb to that vision without truly configuring it for ourselves. It might eventually turn into a byproduct of our success or just the ladder of hierarchy, one that is difficult to flee from or avoid. I remember being told how difficult it was to approach me, a wall that I didn't really knew existed.

There may not be any proven methods to recognise and make corrections, but only if we pay close attention to how we really feel as opposed to what we actually do.

• Feeling imprisoned by the stigmas of notoriety and familiarity and not always being in control of how they actually want to conduct things.
• Limiting the capacity for openness and honesty in communication, that authenticity goes missing.
• Forming an inaccurate mental image of ourselves based on what our others have told us.
• Pushing the comfort limits in order to satisfy the persistent need for recognition and respect.
• Putting excessive demands on ourselves to always be in control.
• Shutting down to the views and opinions of others.
• Challenging to own up to mistakes and failures.
• Limiting down the social circle?

Theoretically, superiority complexes are employed to mask feelings of inferiority by appearing superior or displaying other attributes, but it's possible that we're just failing to strike a balance between success and its necessities.

Bottom line: Neither of the behaviour patterns, whether inferior or excellent, is important, and we should all work toward having a higher and healthier sense of self-worth.
