INFERIORITY COMPLEX ☹️

How do you actually build confidence when you feel inferior all the time?

Lately I’ve been struggling a lot with how I see myself.

I feel bad about myself, I hate the way I am, and no matter what I do I can’t stop feeling inferior. Even though I don’t look bad and my body isn’t “terrible,” my mind keeps convincing me otherwise. I keep staring at the mirror and only noticing flaws.

I doubt myself in everything.

I can’t stand up for myself.

If someone talks negatively about me, I immediately believe they’re right, like I’m the imperfect one in every situation.

I know these feelings come from my past experiences… but I don’t want to stay stuck there anymore. I want to change. I want to feel confident in who I am instead of constantly tearing myself down.

If anyone has gone through this and come out stronger, or if you have tips on how to break this mindset, I’d really appreciate your advice.

It's hard to change our mindset when we've been bullied or conditioned to think a certain way.

When all we've heard is negativity and abuse.

But it's possible to reframe your thinking.

Is it easy?

No.

Is it possible?

Yes.

By small, consistent , daily, habits, where you stand and look in the mirror, and you start changing the conversation and wording and reminding yourself, yes, I am enough 🥰
