Sentirse inferior es un sentimiento más común de lo que se cree. Sobre todo cuando no tenemos bien claro nuestra valía, es decir, cuando le damos más valor a lo que otros puedan pensar de nosotros que a nuestra propia percepción. Esto es lo que comúnmente llamamos baja autoestima.
Feeling inferior is a more common feeling than you might think. Especially when we are not very clear about our worth, that is, when we give more value to what others may think of us than our own perception. This is what we commonly call low self-esteem.
When we feel insecure and dissatisfied with our personality or with our body, the ill-intentioned opinions of others are more likely to echo in our minds, thus reinforcing our fears and insecurities. However, when we know our abilities and strengths and accept our body and our personality, the opinions of others will be simply that: "Opinions", and will not be able to influence our personal perception (self-esteem)
This is a very important issue to reinforce for children and adolescents who are more susceptible to external opinions. A child sure of himself and aware of his own worth will not feel inferior and will not have to do things to please others.
"Insults are like gifts: if you pick it up, you accept it; if you don't pick it up, whoever insults you keeps it in their hands." This sentence perfectly sums up all of the above and was the first what I thought when I read the phrase of the week proposed by
for the contest Energy Refill to which I invite you to participate.
