A central cause of inferiority complexes

Why does this happen, you may ask? Why do some develop inferiority complexes? One of the main reasons is our society itself; our conduct with one another and our behaviour. We relentlessly mock and criticise anything and everything others do. Even if we see someone with a medical condition, or missing an eye, or unable to walk properly, we still leave no shortcoming in heartlessly teasing and making fun of them. People with darker skin are forced to hear comment after comment about their complexion. All of this and more leads to an individual suffering from an inferiority complex.

It does not stop there. Some parents constantly show anger towards their children, shout at them and point out their faults. Over time, the children’s self-confidence fades away and they end up suffering from inferiority complexes. When friends or family get together, they sometimes make fun of one individual specifically. Although the subject of their teasing may be smiling and seeming to take it lightly, nobody has an idea of what he may be truly feeling inside. This leads to us losing self-respect for ourselves and each other, ultimately resulting in inferiority complexes being developed.

Similarly, widows and childless couples are subjected to terrible comments and treatment. A blind eye is given to orphans also, and society at large do not support them as they need. The same parents who can afford luxurious things for their children, do not spare a thought for orphans at all, and these poor souls develop an inferiority complex due to feelings of rejection and loneliness.
