What are the symptoms of people with low self-esteem

Inferiority complex is a relatively common psychological emotion. People with inferiority complex have many symptoms, such as thinking too low of themselves, caring too much about what others think, being afraid to communicate with others in public places, and sometimes particularly liking to show off. These are all caused by inferiority complex. In other words, people show off whatever they lack, which is a common symptom of inferiority complex. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

What are the symptoms of low self-esteem?

1. Like to show off

We often say that the more a person lacks something, the more he likes to show off. That’s right, such a person is actually a person with psychological inferiority complex. By comparing himself with others, he will look down on himself. Deep down, he will think that he is not as good as others and envy others, but he is unwilling to admit his inferiority complex, so he makes up for the inner lack by showing off. At the same time, it is also through excessive showing off, just to get the affirmation of others, to eliminate one's own despicable heart.

2. Care about what others think

In life, Xiaohong is a person who cares very much about what others think of her. As long as a colleague or friend makes any bad comments about her, even if it is a joke, she will care very much. For example, her colleagues said to Xiaohong that your skin is too dark and it doesn’t look good on you in bright colors, so she kept this sentence in mind and never wore brightly colored clothes to work again. In fact, caring too much about what others think is also a manifestation of inherent inferiority. People with inferiority complex believe that they are inferior to others and cannot withstand the attacks and criticisms from others. Therefore, even a little bit of negative comments will magnify her inferiority complex.

3. When eating with friends, people are afraid to order dishes

When friends go out to eat, we always see people pushing each other when ordering food. For some people, letting others order food is a matter of courtesy, but for some people, ordering food is a burden. When ordering food, they are affected by their inferiority complex and dare not express their true wishes and thoughts. They are afraid that others will not like them, so they choose to retreat. Because they are negative about themselves, they think that no matter what they do, others will not like them.

4. Sensitive and suspicious in relationships

This type of people are sensitive and suspicious in relationships. Because of their inferiority complex, they are even more afraid of losing. Because of the fear of losing, their nerves become extremely sensitive. In relationships, they will have very strict requirements on their partners and will not allow them to have too much contact with the opposite sex. Even normal interactions will arouse their suspicion.

5. Arrogance

On the surface, this type of people are the least likely to be associated with inferiority complex, because they are arrogant, that is, they show excessive self-confidence. This arrogant behavior is precisely the inferiority complex in their bones. One of them has no real talent, but only gets appreciation from others by bragging about themselves excessively. The other type has some abilities, but in order to cover up their inferiority complex, they show inflated self-confidence.
