Inferiority is the feeling of being a lower degree, rank, value, or merit than others. This crippling emotion can manifest itself in many ways. One way is in the inability to speak up because the person struggling with inferiority feels their input is not valuable enough to voice. They may also downplay special occasions in their life thinking that a celebration would not be of interest to anybody else. They often worry that they are an inconvenience to people, therefore, they are quick to put themselves last or take themselves out of the equation all together. They frequently demean themselves down before others have opportunity. They live life feeling undeserving because they sincerely believe they are inferior.

Because inferiority hinders judgment they are unable to make sound choices because their foundation is faulty. A simplified example would go something like this: If a person’s shoe size is 6, but they feel certain their feet are a size 8, they will buy larger shoes that flop on their feet. Their foundation is faulty.

Inferiority can affect many choices a person makes throughout their life. The people they chooses to date may be bad for them. The job they take might be in an unhealthy environment. The friends they choose might have negative influences in their life. The person struggling with inferiority will think (based on their faulty foundation) that these decisions are right, only to have them proven wrong or unwise.

Inferiority also has a powerful influence on the people around them. Unfortunately, most people will treat them according to the inferiority they display simply because we live in a superficial world that responds to the power of suggestion. For instance, if the person is intelligent yet feels stupid, they may project the latter, and others will treat them the way they feel.

The truth is that none of their feelings have any basis in spiritual reality. Yet, they are still bound by them until the value they place on the world’s opinion becomes less. The only hope for their struggle is to become intimately acquainted with God’s value system–and then learn to embrace it–regardless of how they feel.

Intimacy with Christ is the key to healing. Christian’s who struggle with inferiority may have head knowledge of how much God values people, but never believe it is true for them.
