I can't help but feel smaller, like everyone else around me is better than me. I lose interest in talking to anyone or making friends with them. I'm falling into depression again, I don't want it to happen again because its hard to get rid of. :thinking:

I always feel like this. I try to tell myself that I shouldn't feel so inferior and unvalued compared to others, but I just can't help it no matter what I do or what people say. sigh...
I can definately understand how you feel : (
 
Inferior

I feel completely inferior to just about everyone. I obsess the most about my physical inferiority, but I really feel inferior in almost all aspects to other people, be it physical, intellectual, social, whatever. I can find something I envy in almost every single person. It makes me feel quite worthless that I don't have any of these qualities myself.

I feel the same way too, many times. Not so much online but offline. I feel that people don't want to associate with me because of my appearance, the clothes that I wear, my lack of confidence, etc.

I sometimes feel inferior to people. I also like u jaim don;t feel that alot of people want to associate with me because of the way I look or talke or what ever. I always feel like the third wheel and out of place.

Re: Inferior

I feel inferior to most people. There are some people I know that I actually feel superior to, but that's usually because I don't like them.

I obsess the most about my physical inferiority,
You are beautiful. Really. I am stunned that you can't see that.
 
You know... everyone is dealt a different hand in life. So what is apparent... "confidence", wealth, health, relationships.... etc.... don't always reflect the quality of a person. The real struggles are usually hidden.

It might seem counter intuitive, but to make it this far, even if it seems like you're not where you should be in life... is still a testament to how much you've struggled and persisted. And in that you've been dealt with difficulties and somehow survived, you need not feel inferior to those who seem more successful. It could be that they were just given a better hand.

Hopefully that makes some sense.

I feel this way with everyone in my family.

I dunno, ppl im not related to i really dont care. But its ppl in my family my age who are out on their own, starting families, and im supopsed to be the new head of the family ni the way that im the last male and its my responsibility to carry on the name....i feel so behind compared to them. I wish there was another male in the family besides me.

Everybody is chasing their salaries, ect, whereas me, i know i make less money, but im happy where im at and have no plans to try to change it.

This is so common. We are always looking for ways we can better ourselves and comparing ourselves to other people. I've started to get over this simply by not comparing myself to other people. Most people in the world are nice believe it or not and so you won't seem inferior in their eyes.

Oh yeah. I've felt inferior to my peers ever since middle school. Elementary school was the last time I was sort of popular or at the very least not a total loser. But then my parents divorced and my life has been on a downward slope ever since.

I feel inferior to taller people, better looking people, people in tuxedos and formal clothes, people wearing fashionable clothes and flashing their gadgets around, older people (I defer to them out of politeness, actually), and professionals (i.e. doctors, lawyers, accountants, scientists, etc).

Most of the time I feel this way. I always compare myself to others, others accomplishments ... the list seems endless :sad:

I love the thread.

I feel not all in or all out.

50:50 share is the place to start - in your head, as you plan to approach others

There are a lot of things we're good at, individually. Others are better, or worse in certain areas.

Perhaps a low-esteem mathematician, electronics, physics specialist geek/nerd such as me is capable of things, but not the same as a TV Presenter, actor, politician or lawyer, and not a talented recruiter team leader who never have to think about anything in the universe apart from... People.

Here is my ultimate word to bring everything together : COMPROMISE

Share. Don't reject anyone sho is slightly different.

i think most people are more intelligent than me. it got so bad that in class i didn't sit down and went back home, because the only free chair was next to a woman who i think was superior in every imaginable way.

I'm also the same. I feel that everyone I know is better than me in some way be it more intelligent or maybe even more attractive. Idk, it's like I can never be good enough.
