What actually is an inferiority complex? Well who knows it better than teenagers. In this growing age, children go through a lot. We all tend to compare ourselves with each other. We have a feeling as if we don’t look upto the mark. As soon as we see someone better than us, we start feeling inferior. We try to look our best wherever we go. Wearing branded clothes, buying expensive watches, setting our hair and what not. But, there is always something missing. You know what it is? 'Self Confidence’.

You cannot give your best in anything until you don't believe in yourself. You have to be confident. Yes, I know it's not that easy. Human nature is contrary. We always do actions opposite to what is expected from us. Why are we doing all this? Why do we have to compare ourselves with anyone else? We are just hurting ourselves. Most of us boost ourselves if we have a competition and we try to compete with them. It's good to have a competition but, the moment jealousy enters our way, we become vain and useless. We thumb nose at ourselves. We just don't have to forget that we all our different.

If God loves his creations, who are others to hate us for being our kind of different? If he, the Almighty, can love us for being our real self, then others can too. Just stop playing second fiddle. You're perfect the way you are. God has made us all different because each person has something unique or special about them. Imagine a World where everyone looks the same, dresses in the same way, thinks in the same way, it would be so boring. Different personalities and different minds together can make a big difference. Nobody is better than us. It's just that we all have a different physical appearance and that's what makes us unique!

Trying to look better than each other, we all are denying the fact that God has made us differently. If he wanted to make us all same he would have done it earlier. Instead of spoiling and destroying his creations, we can just love each other and live peacefully without comparing ourselves and loving ourselves for who we are.
