Everybody is smart these days, rather they act smart by making others feel inferior.
Less said better about Z Generation.
Now Generation Alpha is too joining the bandwagon.
They make fun of other generations including Millennials. Poor Millennials…they are said to be the smartest!
I also read that these people are arrogant. This attitude of these people stems from the fact that they suffer from an inferiority complex.
Everybody is succumbing to an exaggerated sense of self-worth
Why?
I don’t know.
What is that they achieve?
I have no answer.
Maybe they want to dominate or feel a sort of supremacy.
Why this superiority complex?
A bit confusing.
“So the paradox goes: No man who is really ignorant is ever aware that he is ignorant.
That is its finest, most faulty manifestation; there can be no true ignorance without first some claim of intelligence or consciousness, or superiority or enlightenment.”
Why can’t one be as simple as much possible?
“He was a simple man who had no inferiority complex about his lack of education, and even more amazing no superiority complex because he had succeeded despite that lack”

Psychologist Albert Adler in his “Theory of Individual Psychology” postulated that superiority is a defense mechanism, which “hides real feelings of mediocrity. An inferiority complex is an overstated feeling of weakness. It often hides true motives, such as aspirations for power.” In Adler’s theory, a superiority complex and an inferiority complex are tied together.

Thank you so much Dolly for such a lovely way you explained.
You said (Alder’s theory) both can be tied together…probably the same person can suffer from both the complexes?

Adler claimed that it’s not two separate complexes, but two aspects of the same one.
