Once you stop comparing yourself to others, there is no room for inferiority or superiority. Its just you on your "playground" and nobody can ruin that for you. Easier said than done of course. 

Perhaps there is a looming shadow of your past that's causing this that needs to be addressed or a bully that needs to be forgiven?

@NoSelfSelf

Superiority / inferiority is the whole point of the ego. "Look at me, I'm better than those people! Wait no I'm not, I'm a piece of shit and should die". That's literally the roller coaster the majority of people are on. It's how you maintain your sense of self. When true self-love comes in, you can just drop the whole thing and laugh at how pointless and even destructive it was.

While reading the article , at every section, I was like: " that's me! Wait, that's also me! Yes, I also have this one ... " I think I have all the personalities issues in that article! What is my diagnosis? Narcissistic? Maybe none, and I'm just too hard on myself? I really need to drop it all soon, before it's too late to change.

Do you guys think that sentence completion exercises in Six Pillars of Healthy Self Esteem are good way to overcome superiority complex?
