How to deal with inferiority complex in your relationship

 

So you feel that what you and your partner share is true love. You feel so strongly that they are the one for you, but deep down your heart, you aren't sure if you are the one for them. In your eyes, they are close to perfection, too perfect for someone like you. You cherish them so much, and even if they cherish you too, you aren't sure that they do. You feel insecure, not just about yourself, but about them, because apparently, they are too good for you. You need to learn how to deal with inferiority complex in your relationship so as not to let your fears ruin that which you are afraid of losing.

Five ways to deal with Inferiority Complex in your Relationship

• Learn to love yourself

Self-love is priceless. You need to love yourself for who you are. For only then, can others see the beauty in you. So you think you aren't just good enough, well, nobody is ever good enough, but they appreciate that which they have. When you look in the mirror, smile at the reflection you see, for there’s only one of it in the whole wide world.

• Build your confidence

We all need some confidence to get by. People may not always approve of us, thus, making us feel inadequate, but we need to look beyond all that. When you are dating someone, the last thing they want is to see you as a charity case; that’s too much baggage. Your partner needs to know that they are with someone strong, someone who believes in themself. Don’t try to impress, just be yourself, after all, it’s a free world.

• Develop yourself

Personal growth and development are a plus. You don’t just fold your arms and watch time pass you by the same way you have always been. If your partner has achieved so much and it intimidates you, rather than wallowing in self-pity, try to make your own achievements. Go after your dreams and become that person you would like to be.

• Understand that you have options

You have probably placed your loved one on a pedestal so high that you feel no one else can get there for you. That’s just an illusion. Want to know the truth? No one is indispensable. You need to know that you can have someone even better than them if peradventure you lose them today. 

• Get a life

Oh yes you read correctly. You need to simply get a life of your own. Building your entire life around someone is a disaster. And that’s because you give them total control. It’s your life, you need to own it. Do you! Go out and do things without him/her. Have your own friends, career, recreation, and other fun stuff.

Dealing with inferiority complex in your relationship is the right step in the right direction. There must be something about you that keeps your partner glued to you. Don’t chase them away with negativity. If they haven’t given you a reason to question their love for you, don’t give them a reason to question yours. You want a successful relationship, don’t you?
