What causes lack of confidence? The following are either causes
or at least things associated with an inferiority complex:
- personal standards that are set too high; expecting too
much of yourself; youthful, impractical, visionary,
unrealistic goals that you have set for yourself due
to lack of understanding of reality and life. Impractical
goals.
- not accepting yourself as you are, not admitting to your
inabilities and weaknesses. Denying your inabilities.
- a negative outlook on yourself in which your attention is
always on your weak points. Your focus is always on
them, you dwell on them, and you never see your strong
points.
- a habit of always setting difficult tasks for yourself, one
right after another, never giving yourself a chance to
rest, relax and enjoy life. Being too hard on yourself,
making life too hard.
- repeated failures in attempts to do one or more things.
- incidents in the past in which you have been embarrassed or
humiliated by an inability or weakness
- a very narrow focus on a few things as opposed to a very
broad outlook on all of life; intense focus on a single
thing and never relaxing and allowing your mind to wander
from topic to topic, reflecting on the relative value of
many things, observing all of life
