i am sorry you feel so bad about yourself!!!i would buy the books suggested, you can learn alot from them.I also have an inferiority complex, not too bad anymore. i got alot of help here just reading and posting and venting which helped greatly. there are so many people with similiar situations its nice to know others know what i'm talking about and going through. I was abused by my family and it is like a tape recorder the things they said and did to me. now we are all one big happy family after years of therapy for some of us. There were 11 kids in my family, i was basically neglected being the 2nd eldest i had to be a role model so anytime something happened i would get blamed for some of the crap they gave out. it caused my inferiority complex because i just couldn't be good enough, although i wasn't any saint and did do some stupid things. i would do anything to get away from them by getting into bad relationships and such. Keep your chin up, things change, that is why i mentioned about my family, sorry to rant but things can and do change for the better hopefully.
