Any of you feel inferior?

[Eeyore]

Yes in many ways

 

[Roberto]

Yes. Objectively. People says I'm slow, and I don't seem smart, and my knowledge about anything is dismal. And since I don't have any girlfriend, and no job, there must be something inferior in me.

I'm almost like you. The only difference is that my mum says that I know a lot about different things because I read the first sentence of a Wikipedia article and stopped, because 2 many word hurt me head.

 

[Kikoo Loool]

I would imagine that this is a rather common trait among suicidal people. If the answer is yes then why?

Yes, I am. I had everything to succeed in life but failed. That's why I don't deserve any sympathy.

Quality of life is a general indicator of if you are suicidal or not. The worse your life is the more likely you are to be depressed.

 

[Fucking loving it]

If you feel inferior, you want to kill yourself.

If you feel superior, you want to kill others rather than yourself.

e.g. Elliot Rodger

This shit.

For me it all depends on my mania vs depression.

 

[Feline]

I am inferiority personified.
"Self abuse is anti social.
Aggression still natural."

[Umbra]

No, the opposite really. I find most people really really dumb.

 

[agateaqua]

Yes, to everyone. With some obvious exceptions (obvious to most people). But yes, I never feel good enough, always feel quite worthless really. I admire people who have a naturally high self esteem and manage to achieve great things in life, where I feel like a total failure.

 

[LivingToLong]

No, the opposite really. I find most people really really dumb.

I think most people are limited too, I just include myself in the 'most people' category.

I've often thought that I am too judgemental and that my standards are set too high. So high in fact that I even fail myself with them.

 

[TheFinalCountdown]

Yes and no. I don't feel inherently inferior to most people but I definitely have weaknesses that most other people don't seem to struggle with

This is really thoughtful and makes a lot of sense. I'd say I'd probably been with a lot of crappy people, been taken for granted a lot of times, and sometimes I don't even know when people are looking down on me (which is even sadder) owing it to Aspergers and social ignorance, street ignorance, etc.

I remember watching a reality TV show, where the person who got treated badly was hurt and confused, just wandering in an area by themselves. Then one host said, he probably doesn't understand what's happening or how someone could do that to someone else--because he could never ever even conceive of intentionally treating someone else that way.

Sometimes when you're treated less, it's not because you're inferior at all. It's simply because they kinda suck. The concept blew my mind.

Nope not even a single bit. Why would I feel inferior towards the people who doesn't even know what they truly want while wandering this world aimlessly hurting each other while chasing after something that may or may not give them happiness? Destroying and consuming everything around them just so they can satisfy that insatiable hunger for more "happiness"? Lie, cheat and deceive their way throughout their whole life. Ignoring the truth, responsibilities and consequences of their own actions. Why would I put myself lower than them? Hahahaha no. I simply cant stand being around them anymore. I just want to die and disappear completely. I don't want to be remembered. I don't want to have anything to do with them.

And death is the only thing that will end this nightmare and rage.

Hard same. I have a lot of flaws and weaknesses and I understand that a lot of people do to. But sometimes when I feel fine, when I'm not too concerned with what I hate about myself and I see/talk to people that don't seem to struggle with those flaws? Especially the ones I struggle with the most? I feel ashamed, inferior, and my self-hate resurfaces once again. The nagging voice in the back of my head wakes up and jumps on the opportunity to insult and belittle me again for who knows how long.

I don't think I'm inferior to everyone. I'd say I'm pretty average, maybe a little bit bellow but still there, and when I'm reminded of the things I hate about myself it all comes crashing down. And it's a feeling that probably won't go away any time soon unless I truly make an effort to change myself.

Stay strong, I hope you find a way to overcome your weaknesses too. I hope you all do :)

It depends. I'm only superior when it comes to only a few skills.
In everything else I'm inferior, like social skills and the will to live and do things. I'm 1,58m tall, so it helps this feeling.

 

[hegesias]

Yes, I see myself as inferior.

 

[omoidarui]

If you feel inferior, you want to kill yourself.

If you feel superior, you want to kill others rather than yourself.

e.g. Elliot Rodger

umm he did both those things

 

[letmeseethedeath]

i feel inferior. useless. ugly. problematic. unlovable. worthless. i feel dead but still breathing

 

[Painted Bird]

No I don't. Inferior to some mindless, breeding, abusive, cruel sheeple? No way. I don't feel inferior nor superior, just different.

 

[shelledone]

Definitely. I can't look people in the eye. I know I'm good at some things (like being a hard worker, attention to detail), but not the things that truly matter. I don't have charisma, looks, talent, money. There's nothing desirable about me. And I'm so painfully aware of this fact.

 

[AlePizarnik]

Ues I am ugly and nobody loves me

 

[MissNietzsche]

Yes, I've had really bad body dysmorphia for a while. I honestly think I'm deformed.

Everyday in every way.......

I tend to be treated as though I'm inferior, and that's even worse I would say. It's a result of my social anxiety. Most social interactions feel like a power struggle that I'm inevitably on the losing end of due to my problems asserting myself to any effective degree. A lot of people, I've found, simply assume they're superior to me, even when they know very little about me, due to having made assumptions. These assumptions tend to be - stupid - uneducated - naive, unworldly - hasn't travelled anywhere - poor - low socioeconomic background - needs/wants "help". I'm then spoken down to and "helped" as if these assumptions are facts. If I somehow manage to speak up for myself and let people know they're not necessarily correct, the shock and cognitive dissonance in them tends to be so great that they try and push me back down again so they can feel better. That experience is even worse than if I hadn't spoken up in the first place.

I know this post is months old but it really struck a chord with me. The social anxiety shuts down any spontaneous thought and I'm left feeling like there's nothing I can do but nod, or I try to piece together thoughts and speak in fragments that are just straight up ignored because I must be cRaZy or stupid. People see this as affirmation of their superiority. And when I do have something to say I sound smug as fuck because it's easier for me to use more precise words when forming thoughts and I start from the default position of having to be assertive and having to prove myself, and fully expecting dismissal.

I'll admit I'm definitely the type to inflict cursory judgment on people in that stereotypical sullen, misanthropic way, but I'm very quick to change my mind (so quick that most don't believe me when I do!)
