When He took it away from me
I pushed so many people away from fear of rejection, and no patience. My ex-husband has no patience when was in college before taking a semester or two off he would threaten me that he would leave me. This feeling was so damaging to be I wasn't sure of what to think or say. I felt like Shane took away my ability to trust, and to love.

How to overcome Inferiority Complex?
An inferiority complex is a set of beliefs that we hold about ourselves where we always assign less value to ourselves in comparison to others. It is a composite of low self-worth, doubt, uncertainty, and feelings of not measuring up to standards. Consciously or unconsciously we compare ourselves to others. In this process, we may feel either jealous or inferior, or superior to others. Inferiority complex manifests in our lives constantly and continuously & affects our relationships, performance & our self-perception in a covert & overt manner. It is often unconscious and may arise out of deep-seated insecurities especially when we put ourselves down and put others on a pedestal. When we have feelings of inferiority, we keep comparing ourselves with others and always end up selling ourselves short. We tend to maximize our flaws and discount our strengths. This perspective leads to pervasive feelings of unhappiness, hopelessness, anger, resentment, anxiousness, envy pain, and a feeling of guilt about these feelings. With this complex, the person is unable to overcome the difficulties of life.

The Complex Trauma of Adoption. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Adoption is often seen as a beautiful journey of building families, but it’s also a journey rooted in profound loss and complex emotions. For many adoptees, being separated from their biological family is a foundational trauma that can deeply influence their lives. This experience can lead to what mental health professionals call "complex trauma"—a type of trauma that develops from prolonged, repeated exposure to emotionally distressing situations, often starting in childhood. Understanding the layers of trauma associated with adoption is key to supporting adoptees on their journey to healing.
