- We live in a world filled with constant competition, and it's easy to get caught up in the need to constantly be comparing ourselves to others and striving to be the best.
While many people are able to recognize their own abilities and not allow the achievements of others to define them, some struggle with constant competition within themselves.
What happens if you feel a perpetual need to assert your excellence? Or, if a battle rages on between your true identity and how you appear in comparison to others?
If you feel the need to devalue others in order to feel more assured in yourself, this could be one of the signs of a superiority complex.

So true
A lot of older people have this...toward young people
Yes 100 %
You are absolutely right! That’s why I’m here right now. Trying to understand the dynamic between my grandmother and her grand children. 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah man. A father was walkin by me and he had his family and looked at me who had a hoodie on like i was a criminal. So i pushed his shoulder away cause he was trying to be the alpha and then started staring at me. I said sorry but he walked away like he was the winner
facts. I work with seniors. Some of them are great, but the ones with superiority complexes are easy to tell apart from the rest
A lot of people in academia have it.
These people will hate you forever if you challenge and prove them wrong over the slightest petty situation
This video is spot on. Yes people who have this complex aren’t ‘horrible’ BUT they are highly annoying and untrustworthy. They just talk about themselves the whole time and about how dumb everyone else is instead of even listening to what you have to say. And when you talk, they will promptly interrupt to talk about themselves again. They always talk as if they know everything and are right about everything, they are ‘never wrong’, and even never at fault for anything. They have zero self reflection skills or awareness of how arrogant they look. And the worse thing is, their claims are not backed up by REALITY - their house is broken or a dump and they are in a bad way at all levels. Yet apparently to them they are ‘smarter than everyone else’. Having a relationship with these people means you will always be in the back seat, you’ll always be considered ‘dumber’ than them. And because of their belief that everyone is beneath them, if you be ever so kind to them, they will never appreciate it and treat you with disregard the next day. It will leave you baffled, wondering whether they actually valued you. To them, you’re just another disposable dumb person regardless of how much kindness you give them. They can invoke a hateful response because of this as you are left confused and hurt, wondering if it was something you said. It’s best to steer clear of these people, they will not even care if they lose your friendship, since you were ‘dumb’ anyway according to them.
I have a friend who might have a superiority complex, inferiority complex or a mix. Cant really differentiate…
From a very young age he had parents who constantly talked down things he liked doing. His parents didnt approve of him watching cartoons or playing video games, which up to this day are big hobbies of his. Ive been observing this behaviour in him ever since I know him. Ususally, he is a very comfortable person to be around and you can have really nice discussions, conversations and good laughs with him. But once in a while he will express strong disbelief towards things I say. Very mundaine things mind you. For example, a wasp queen flew into my house and I killed it. Later I said „boy that wasp queen was annoying“ to which he responded „that wasnt a wasp queen“. Then we had a tiny argument over this. I knew for sure it was a wasp queen, but he just didnt want to believe me. Even with things he doesnt know anything about: He has never owned a Nintendo console, yet he tried lecturing me about this. (Im a huge Nintendo fan)
Another thing he does is undermining things that he doesnt care about or feel interested in. I tell him about this comic I really enjoyed reading, give him a brief summary of the plot and his response is „Ah yea, basically every sci-fi story ever“. He even does this with things he knows I love. He will sometimes not hold back talking down on them.
These two behaviours feel so detached from the rest of his otherwise calm and friendly personality. Sometimes I dont know how to respond so I either say nothing or just tell him „yea ok, you are right“.
@Terry Jackson what do you mean?
I looked this up on TH-cam to get a better understanding of myself and unfortunately I see a lot of myself in your friend you described. I’m an easy going person but when I disagree with people it’s rare that I submit to a fruitful conversation- I can be very stubborn and oftentimes view myself as better than some people but all in all I suffer with extreme sadness and feel horrible about myself- it’s a very weird pair. I believe I have both or maybe im so insecure that I’ve groomed myself into trying to have a good mindset but all the while it’s nothing more than a facade.
I also grew up with very overly critical parents.
@@73aven Glad I could help you to self reflect a little. That's a first and important step. I highly recommend seeing a therapist for stuff like this though. I'm going to start therapy soon and I'm honestly excited about it. Finally, I'll have someone to share my cumulative thought processes with and help me analyze them/learn from them. And hopefully they can help me to figure out my own patterns that keep me trapped in life situations I'm unhappy with.
@@lionpikmin good luck on your time in therapy I do hope that that helps you- I do want to go to therapy once I have the means to afford it!
@@73aven Thank you.
I Know A Couple Of People With This Complex.... This One Guy, Is So Dam Disagreeable It's Unreal. He Has To Be The Brightest In The Room, He Has No Respect For Ideas And Perspectives Other Than His Own, He Gets Highly Upset When People Stand Firm In Their Views.... He Knows Everything.... Has A Exaggerated Sense Of Self Worth.... He Hates When Others Receive Compliments In His Presence. This Guy Is A True Character And I Know Where His Insecurities Stem From.

I have a friend or at least used to. This friend got rich quick doing scams online at a young age and eventually got kicked out if his home when his parents found out about it and took all his money away. I let him stay in my place for a few months which probably was a mistake now that I think about it. I think he lives alone now at least he says he does. Recently whenever I text him he eventually goes off on how I don’t have any money and that I still live with my parents and just toxic shit like that. Most recently he told me how I even have the nerve to try to talk to him when I haven’t accomplished anything I’m my life. Which isn’t far from the truth but mind you we’re both 18 and im pretty confident in where my life is going and im definitely in no rush. When he said that to me I felt hurt though yk cuz why wouldn’t you. like I’ve smoked n chilled with this dude since we were in middle school and now he’s belittling me so that he could feel better about himself like bruh. Anyways I told him he was weird and left him on delivered lmao. I just worry about all the bad karma he’s accumulated in his life from doing what he does and how it might effect him later on in life. But what can you do right.
Every single 7th and 8th grader on my bus.
Lmao
This definitely holds true about social services. They always cringe when their dirty laundry is being exposed.
It pretty much a person with that got self esteem issues, a fake person. Pride come befall a fall.
So basically someone who thinks they're better than other ppl to an extreme lv
"I'm SO MUCH "BETTER" than YOU😄😄😄 look at my finger, now look at your finger, now look at mine again, my finger is BETTER than yours because its BIGGER! 😄😄 I'm so much better I've got longer fingers than you!! 🤣🤣🤣, I'm just better than you in every way, I'm practically godlike! I can cook better than you, swim faster, jump higher AND I'm super popular and have tons of girls! I'm a king! I'm divine, I'm just better and there's NOTHING you can do to change it lolololol"
Ya know the best thing about ppl like this? When their ego breaks and they go insane from denial it's one of the funniest things any sentient being can witness😄😄
Ikr🤣! I could never consider acting like this! I had a brother who was a lot like this😂!
@@kimbratton9620 was it enjoyable to see him get humbled?
@@infj-tguy6275 yes!
@@kimbratton9620 very nice, imagine his broken ego face on a christmas card 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When the mask breaks, it is like being extremely angry, sad, scared and confused at the same time. While it might be fun for you, it is by far the worst thing that can happen to yourself. It is not like we want to hurt others in any way, we think everyone wants to hurt us. That's why we act, how we act.
Feeling the need to devalue others to prop oneself up is a sign of inferiority complex, not superiority. People who have superiority complex actually put the self down and hide their talents and potential because they fear it will affect others negatively and therefore be cast out from their social group whether that's family or peer group.
Not necessarily talents or potential but they try to identify with everyone.
it is superiority complex but it's a paradox, true, they feel deep sense of inferiority, but they act superior which can have negative impact on the victim.
@@jugg9140 I disagree. Superiority complex stems from fear of rejection for being better, talented, smarter than others so they actually devalue themselves and hide their goodness. These people were sometimes abused or bullied for their goodness. People with this complex tend to be underachievers.
Inferiority complex is when a person feels they are inadequate and fears rejection from this so they devalue others to artificially prop themselves up. They also tend to be overachievers and have a need to prove how smart/good/talented they are to stave off these feeling of inferiority.
Both come from fear of rejection.
@@mamasworldview but you are right you just point out what i said about paradox, people who feel superior dont actually feel fear, like upfront, lets say their are two minds, one is the upfront feeling that you feel right away which is external, not deep, they dont feel fear in the that place, actually they feel really really good about themselves, dopamine rushing like cum, but the paradox is in their subconscious mind the deeper one, where they actually reason they are smart enough to know that they actually are inferior, but certainly they dont feel inferior upfront.
@@jugg9140 they reject others so they themselves don't get rejected first
I deal with this daily lol
I'm playing this on my bluetooth speaker right beside the person That makes my life miserable at work To see how many people Is start looking at him when they hear it
fr and slowly some of my friends are saying signs about how they feel uneasy to (the person)

"while many people are able to recognize their own abilities ...and not allow..." Actually NO very very few people can do that
That is very true, we live in a world where everyone highly overestimates their own ability's to do things and solve problems in their own life which prevents people from correcting their mistakes and actually learning how to solve problems. A man who admits he is wrong thousands of times over is just about as valuable of a man as you can find.
This is not superiority complex, this is inferiority. Inferiority complex is when you feel inadequate and act out in as arrogant to make up for it. Superiority complex is when you feel superior internally but act out in inferior ways.
Did you watch the video? he said the differences and compared the two
