Complexes are internal sensations that make a person, for some reason, consider himself worse than others. And as a result, self-doubt and self-doubt appears. What is uncertainty Uncertainty is something that a lot of people have to live with. At the same time, many people feel insecure when they find themselves in various situations. People don’t do what they want in life: someone doesn’t try to enter the desired university, someone doesn’t go on a trip to the country they dream of, someone is afraid to meet the person they like. And at the heart of all this is uncertainty, firmly rooted in the soul. Yes, the one who is more confident achieves his goals, but a person with complexes does not find the strength and resources to move forward. Causes of uncertainty The causes of uncertainty include the following factors: Incorrect upbringing within the family or lack thereof. All kinds of assessments or comparisons of the child with others, as well as threats, commands, morals and the gluing of negative labels - all this is precisely the fertile ground that is so suitable for the development of low self-esteem. But it is enough to simply be sincere with your child, and then this will become the core of his human dignity. Lack of a mentor or friend in childhood. It often happens that there is simply no person next to the child who can truly become his mentor or friend, who will help with advice and at the right time tell him how to understand a difficult life situation. Unfortunately, many parents, in pursuit of creating material wealth, do not pay due attention to their children, their problems and fears. They simply do not engage in personality formation, which is so important during the early development of a child. Crisis life situation. The development of insecurity can be influenced by the severe shock that the child experiences. This includes the death of loved ones, betrayal of a friend, divorce of parents, public insult. Such situations can be experienced as tragedies. Crisis reasons for the development of insecurity even in adults include loss of meaning in life, feelings of guilt, self-abasement and shame. How to overcome uncertainty Each situation of uncertainty is very individual. But psychologists have some ways to help cope with feelings of worthlessness. These include the following psychological techniques: Appeal to the past. Learn to learn from your past. After all, life is like a boomerang. Very often we have to experience the same situations. Therefore, past experience can help you learn to cope with the uncertainty that arises. Addressing your body. When you are overwhelmed by excitement, you should turn to your own body and feel yourself standing firmly on the ground, feel the weight of your body, feel your breath and calmly look around. Slow down. Don't give in when you are rushed into making a decision. Allow yourself to think at a pace that is comfortable for you. Addressing the future. It is worth learning to adequately assess everything that can happen in life. Not being able to cope with something or not making mistakes is not a reason to worry. It is situations like these that teach us best. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Every person has someone around them who believes in them. Therefore, you can safely turn to such a person for advice and support. Self-doubt can be silenced before it becomes a serious problem. At the same time, it is quite possible to overcome it on your own or consult a psychologist. In such cases, not only auto-training helps, but also engaging in creative activities, which instills confidence, optimism, gives peace of mind, and communication with other people will also help - you shouldn’t be alone with yourself all the time, hiding from the outside world and cherishing your complexes.
