Inferiority and compensation

People with inferiority complex tend to compensate for their feelings of inferiority by achieving somewhere else like excelling in studies or sports. They always have the need to achieve in order to compensate for their inferiority; don't be surprised at the fact that a great number of achievers are a direct result of inferiority complex.

Another type of compensation is trying to act with superiority; you give a pretense that is contrary to your feelings, you think and act as if you are superior to everyone else just to compensate the feeling of being inferior,
