The airs of superiority: a sign of insecurity

We’ve all met that person who acts very confident and brags about it. With her head held high, she seems like she knows everything and that the rest of us will never measure up to her. These people who are recognized for their airs of superiority believe they are better than others and at their side will be those who idolize them and those who will be their victims.

Modesty is not a trait that characterizes this type of people.. They will always be proud and proud of everything they can to stand out from the rest. But… is there something else? Could it be a mask to hide a tremendous complex?

The same thing happens with people with an air of superiority. Behind all that contempt they show towards their own friends lies a much deeper problem that they try to hide. A situation that they feed by putting on a mask of self-sufficiency, but that will never be satisfied.

Human beings have a great capacity to deny the problems that confront them.. What’s more, sometimes, even seeing the reality before her eyes, she has the great audacity to deny it. Sometimes it’s out of fear, other times it’s out of shame.

How could it not be otherwise, self-esteem plays a fundamental role here. You can act in two ways when faced with this: feeling superior or inferior. People with an air of superiority block or mask their insecurity by appearing superior to others, humiliating them in order to feel better about themselves.

It is not the solution

sooner or later this situation ends

Putting on a mask will never be a good option. The solution is found in the search for balanced self-esteemthat allows us to feel safe and good about ourselves.

Showing ourselves as people who hurt others will not make us feel better, at least not in the long term. Inside, we will continue to feel that emptiness and that terrible insecurity.

That’s why, Every time you meet a person with an air of insecurity, be cautious. She is not to blame for acting like this because who knows what kind of horrible situations she has had to live through.

Now you know that any person who exaggerates their virtues, be it their confidence, their strength, their bravery, their intelligence to be above others, is because they have a conflict with it. It’s a way to protect themselves, although in reality all they do is hurt themselves more.
