I definitely feel inferior most of the time. I'm constantly comparing myself to other people, and I really shouldn't. It's a horrible habit that one should never get into.
Another thing that really gets to me is my uncertainty and self-consciousness. I should know I'm smart and talented, but I'm so worried about how I put myself out there and what others think of me, I fear that maybe I'm not as talented or smart as I think I am. That people will view me as some loser who just thinks they're talented and smart.

Yea because I am
I don not "feel" inferior. I am inferior. Reasons being:-
1) I am ugly
2) I am not smart
3) I do not have any confidence
4) I am underweight
5) Whenever I have been to (school, college and work), I am the most ugliest and the most pathetic guy around
6) Despite me being good at studies/exams no body even considered me as a human being; I was always like something which doesn't deserve respect/due consideration/kindness as a human being
7) I was/am constantly reminded of my abnormality.
8) I do not have any qualities what so ever which would make anyone take even the most remotest interest in me
9) About girls, I have never even spoken to one
10) It would be an understatement if I mentioned that I hate myself.
The above are facts, I accept those and I have been molded as such and it cant be changed.

I feel inferior most of the time when I see what others have accomplished and far behind I am.
Whenever I feel like I am good at something most people I meet with the same interests is better than me, even though I have spent years of my life perfecting my skills.
I think I lack the focus and mental stamina to become truly good at something, at the best I am slightly above average in the skills I have trained in the most.
I feel inferior because others at my age has usually achieved their life goals years ago (getting a license, starting a family, having a career etc.) while I don't even feel close to achieving any of those things.

there is absoultely no doubt that genetic advantage is a massive boost to someone being more likely to be successful, i know of quite a few people who were given the looks and the personality, many people would be happy with just one of those gifts, it isn't fair but its how life is. its what's inside that counts is morally true however in real life often it isn't true, which is sad. However everyone can potentially make the best of what they have no matter how difficult it seems. with a desire to change state and to stay healthy then you can go far to an extent.
i feel inferior at work. after work i feel much better but still far from being confident and successful.

As a toddler, I felt SO special! My parents put it into my head that I was great at everything, I was smart, I was cute, I was polite-- then I started school and I was bullied and realized that people were better at things than I was.
I've often though as an adult that maybe that's where my sense of inferiority came from. I can blame pretty much everything on school. haha
I'm no better than anyone else... but plenty of people are 'better than me' somehow. It's not even like I'm actively comparing my own life events to other people's-- I just feel like the generic answer to 'who is better'-- is 'whoever isn't me'.
I guess it's impossible to think of everyone as being equal since we're all so different... but I wish I had more confidence and didn't hate myself because of it at the very least.
-- It's gotten gradually worse ever since I found out about my illness; since I know that my body will deteriorate much much faster than a 'normal/fairly healthy person's
So perhaps my health is a factor to this as well.

I chose no. I don't feel inferior because why should I? Because I'm quiet? Because I don't have a million friends? Because I'm forced to deal with something I can't handle? I know I'm B.A. in things that others aren't. I have interests in things that others may not. I try to think of my ups instead of my downs even though it's definitely not the way I think naturally. I think a lot of us think of our downfalls before our positive qualities.
I think trying your hardest is what matters most. And surrounding yourself with positive vibes; whether they're people or just things you enjoy and/or are good at.
I have nothing to feel inferior about and neither should you or anyone else.

I have a hard time believing most of these things.
No one is ugly. Thoughts can be ugly, features can be ugly, but no person is ugly. What decides whether or not you (or any person) is ugly is your personality. Though I don't know you, I don't feel like you'd have an ugly personality at all.
Confidence is something that a lot of people have trouble with, whether they show it or not. Whenever I feel myself looking down at the ground to avoid eye contact with people, I catch myself and look up. Keeping your head up will make you feel better about yourself.
Being underweight doesn't make you inferior. I am underweight and I don't consider it to be a flaw of mine. I wouldn't consider an overweight person to be inferior because of their weight either.
I just looked at your bio and I noticed you are into the science fiction. That is interesting! Don't say it isn't. There are other people with the same interests as you! And I noticed you also have dA in your interests. Do you like art? I love art, myself. I'm not any good, yet, but I enjoy it greatly.
I just wanted you to know that what you consider to be flaws AREN'T flaws, but they make you who you are <3

This might be related to your thyroid, I'd strongly suggest that you visit a doctor and ask him to give you a thyroid test...sometimes thyroid hormones can show normal on a test while the antibody TPO levels might be high(this indicates an autoimmune thyroid).Many doctors don't measure antibody TPO levels(it's a ratherly new concept) be sure to ask your doctor to measure your antibody TPO levels as well.
