The Practical Solution to your Superiority/Inferiority Complex

[@BD638]

2:00 Wow the idea that inferiority is a compensation for not being able to handle one's internal superiority is crazy!! But it makes total sense, I remember always thinking that my emotions and thoughts were too much and I had to dial them down to be accepted.

[@agentmysterian1461]

Wow five minutes in and i cannot believe how accurately the superiority complex describes me. I have social interest but cant express it properly. I have so much potential that it hurts me sometimes how little I can act it out because of walls that are invisible to me. I often get frustrated because I feel like I put myself down in social situations. That was an absolute eye opener for me and I am only 5 Minutes in but my insides are suddenly filled with an intense motivating and also slightly painful feeling (because the realization comes only now and not years ago), thank you for your work and for explaining myself to me!

[@gfepsh]

Im so thankful to have found this channel, you three have been doing such amazing work helping us strangers out so much. My feelings reflect those of all the other comments on this video. Ive had a superiority complex for probably my entire conscious life, and I resonate with your sentiment about being ashamed of potential; I always have had a difficult time admitting my feelings of my own potential (and still do) in fear of coming off as arrogant. I think it might have something to do with the coquettish nature of my parents towards me during my early development. Mother promoting my seemingly grandiose sense of self and fathers evil eye looking down at me with contempt. I’m inspired by and grateful for you three. Because of your work I’m allowed to learn more about myself and the world, thank you.

[@nathantaylor3773]

Didn’t realize I had a superiority complex, thank you

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi @nathantaylor3773 • 2 weeks ago Didn’t realize I had a superiority complex, thank youThe Superiority Complex is the 'over-compensation' for itself, that is, the overcompensation for our positive potential, that manifests as its opposite - 'inferiority.' This is a core Adlerian principle, in that he saw human nature as essentially the striving to overcome feelings of inferiority. However, this can be reversed, in that from a Jungian perspective, the over-compensation for the best of our potential, that we reject in ourselves, and/or is supressed actively, or coincidentally, by others, can mean that we dumb ourselves down, and actively reduce our rank and status, in order to cover-up other people's weaknesses or inadequacies (this is the over-compensation). Kindest Regards, Steve 🙏

[@TiaTurnbullnow]

Woah! This is wonderful, Thank you!!!! I never heard such a description of how the superiority complex actually manifests. If you Google superiority complex it says people are masking their inferiority by acting superior. I like your opposite compensation idea better. A person with a superiority complex manifested behavior will be to put themself down and make themself subdominant. They make excuses for themself as if they are embarrassed by their own potential. They don't want to control so they allow themself to be controlled. They feel a sense of urgency and anxiety. Wow! HOLY cr**! That makes so much sense. To me, it seems as though the person knows they would be judged by others if they acted as confident, smart, talented as they actually feel. It reminds of playing basketball with young children. A pro player would not go out and dunk on the kids and keep the ball all to himself, he would look like a jerk. That reminds me of the scene in the movie "Something about Mary" where Matt Dillon's character was playing football and checkers with special needs children. He was clotheslining them in football and cheating at checkers. Then he said " special my a**." I guess that would be a manifestation of an inferiority complex. So, again, regarding the superiority complex, do you think a person may manifest these complexes on and off depending on the environment? Such as someone who fits in well with their regular peer group and has studied, practiced and become very smart, talented, skillfull or competitive at a high level but when they go home for Thanksgiving they tone it down and feel anxious because they don't want to show anybody up and make them feel bad but they also can't just relax, enjoy themselves and be their normal brilliant self?

Steve has what I can only descrbe as a natural gift in his understanding of the academic works and studies of those founders of western psychology. He could quite easily be a genius in his field. I dont say this lightly. In my opinion his genius lies in his interpretation of Jung, Ardler et al; his ability to treat and diagnose through applied knowledge and what i feel is an innate insight on the human condition.

I still don't fully understand why someone with a superiority complex would be afraid of expressing themselves to others, and why they are afraid of their full potential? Does this mean that they are scared they will come off as arrogant or prideful if they express themselves because they think that they are better than others, and if they did they will get backlash?

Hi Sophia, it’s surprisingly common. The sources to check out the background to it are a Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology. The brief answer is yes. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

[@Yacobo_]

Thank you for this video, very very helpful and illuminating. You've spoken repeatably on the idea of personal potential on this channel and I have a question about it. How do you identify and differentiate what is your own potential from what is perhaps your own delusion? My guess is by identifying your own complexes, and perhaps the frustrated instincts behind them, then things can become more clear? I'm thinking in the case of grandiose dreams perhaps stemming from the power drive instinct, or a superiority complex and wanting to be recognized... For me sometimes, it's tough to know what desires are healthy vs complex stemmed. It seems Pauline's advice near the end of the video of having a place to house your libido is a step in the right direction in helping discern this. Am I on the right track?

[@jungtolivebyafterdark]

Hi again Jacob Mattern, my friend. Yes, you are definitely on the right track. The main thing with all three (Freud, Adler and Jung) is to understand two things: (i) each represents a step forward, and (ii) each represents a potential trap, with their own psychopathology that can arrest or fixate development. As a very brief example, if you don't sort out what Freud represents, then as you move forward, it will create an inertial drag (at the very least) on your adaptatioon to Adlerian and then Jungian stages of development. We'll be doing a video on this very soon by way of explanation. Kindest Regards, Steve.

It's so effin strange to be described this perfectly. So, in really simple terms, if I suffer from a superiority / inferiority complex, I need to find my passion/dharma/life goal and get a girlfriend. Then and only then can I open the collected works again. That about it?

[@vin608]

Does the complex originate from reading Jung's works? Then maybe you should be careful.

[@souljacem]

Right brother. Follow your spiritual heart and reconcile its contents with your intellect and body, and you won‘t have to look for a girlfriend. You both will attract each other and hopefully go through the collected works together, so you can sort yourselves out and hopefully individuate. May God and Love be with you.

[@jungtolivebyafterdark]

Hi again Rares Mocanu, my friend. Jung was very clear that no one could understand his work without first studying Freud and Adler. It's like the three turnings of the wheel of dharma in Buddhism. Freud is analogous to Hinayana, Adler to Mahayana and Jung to Tantrayana. All three made huge contributions and each offers a 'turning of the wheel' of psychodynamic dharma.

[@imogen.magenta]

Thanks guys. I appreciate your time on this. I think I got that inferiority complex is a compensation for felt loss of status and manifests as excess achievement of status - perhaps via subordinating others. The remedy was to relate to others better - because this means you are seeing yourself on a par with them and not as either inferior or superior. I got less on the superiority complex, which is more what I was interested in. Is that a direct corollary? So, arises from a felt superiority and manifests as an excess suppression of status? Was the remedy also to relate better to others? Wouldn’t someone who is actively down playing any superiority when interacting - in order to achieve camaraderie, mutual trust, etc - actually be quite good at relating? There was a lot of theoretical discussion about the different contributions of Jung, Adler (sp?) and Freud, cautioning people, once again, to avoid going straight into Jung’s transcendental aspects and taking that on as an aspect of your personality without grounding in the biological and social contexts of pathology. This is targeted against ‘lots of this on the internet’ and may be of interest to many of your listeners but why not simply do it better rather than spend so much time elaborating why ‘they’ are doing it wrong? For me, I would like to hear more practical and example based descriptions of the kinds of things someone suffering from a superiority complex might actually have experienced or might do in their life. So if they are to relate ‘better’ or differently - in what ways, with what attitude or approach, how might that look or feel, how might that feel different to what they currently do? Etc. As I said some applied examples would be great - where you could actually see a case and see how it developed and then how it shifted after therapy and maybe why - or what the mechanism was.

Hi Josh Kayster. The Personal Myth is the through-line/world-line of your life and all that has contributed, biologically, psychologically and socially to the development of who 'you' are.

Hi again @Holistic Coaching, yes, that describes the fundamental dynamic, in Adlerian and also in Jungian terms. Adler would have said that 'Social Interest' (relating) is the solution. It all depends on how deep you want to go. The Adlerian solution, works as the solution he derives comes from real-world application. In individual cases, its often best to assess how the whole-person is regulating themself, biopsychosocially. This is easy to do, if you approach it properly. The solution then emerges, natuarlly.

I can understand Freud as Libido/biology/instincts and Adler as power struggles between superiority/inferiority, but what of Jung? Admittedly I've glossed over the former two and focused primarily on Jung in my psychological endeavors, but I'm appreciating the instinctual and even social aspects of what makes our personal psychology more and more (but this is why I prefer Jung over the other two; Jung acknowledged the complexity of the psyche, and its multi-factorial development). Great discussion!

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi again Noah Fritz, thank you for the kind words, Jung's personal statement, is his 'approved' body of work, as published - and this excludes The Red Book and the Black Books, neither of which he approved of for publication, nor indeed did his son. His personal myth, as he articulates it, is Memories Dreams Reflections. indeed, this is how he introduces the book himself. To understand that, at some distance, you need to look at Jung's family, the factors that shaped them, and then how they in turn impacted upon him: then follow his life and career.

How do you fix a superiority complex?

[@JungToLiveBy]

Hi again @nathantaylor3773, Adler's solution was what he called 'Social Interest' in effect, this is relating to others, so that we aren't pre-occupied with overcoming feelings of inferiority, by striving for personal superiority'. To do this we must challenge what Adler called our 'Private Logic', 'Neurotic Alibis' and 'Guiding Fictions'. These are the 'Jungian' symptoms of complexes, that we have acquired along the time-line of our life. For Adler, these complexes were all ultimately reducible to the 'Power-Drive'. Jung would agree that 'Social Interest' as in relating to others, was one way of achieving wholeness, sufficient to 'Individuate'. He would also however, value personal development of an inner, non-social kind, whilst acknowledging the importance of relating, in the widest sense. Kindest Regards, Steve🙏

I fit perfectly in ur description. Not 100% sure what to do about it though, cuz it doesnt seem like a bad thing necessarily. Hmm.. that could just be my ego talking though. felt like nearly everything after around the 10minute mark applies to me. i really don't think it's a bad thing though, honestly, i think i'm perfectly capable of getting into a relationship or getting a job or whatever else, i just think all of this stuff is super cool, it's sorta like a videogame where you dive into your psyche or books, or listen to some videos and find cool things which u can incorporate into your life. i also try to keep myself spread out across other things to hopefully not get too tangled up in anything in particular and hopefully find the truths which would in theory be found in multiple areas, like getting into greek philosophy, the bible, budhism, hinduism, listenting to a bit of alan watts, terrence mckena. i just wanna try and be the best person i can be, and i figured if i learned about all these things, i'll find ideas, teachings, wisdom, and practices which can help with that; and if my libido + inferiority/superiority complex is the drive behind that, i'm not sure if that necessarily needs to change. though i suppose i can keep it in mind in case i spend far too much time doing this sort of thing and i guess i can pull myself out and start living my life when it seems right. if you end read this and reply, thank you!
