The subject of human emotions is a complicated one. While experts agree that these affect all aspects of a persons life, a defining list of human emotions has yet to be created. Heres a quick look at two of the most popular methods for categorizing emotions: Plutchiks Wheel of Emotions

A renowned academician and psychologist, Robert Plutchik is known for his psycho-evolutionary theory on emotion, which is still widely referenced today. Here, he states that there are eight (8) basic emotions that evolved to increase an animals reproductive fitness. These are paired with one another, so that there are 4 primary emotions, each having a basic opposite:

Fear Anger Joy Sadness Surprise Anticipation Trust Disgust

From his theory, he developed a wheel of emotions in 1980 as a way of demonstrating the relationships that exist among emotions. Aside from the 8 mentioned above, he also included in the wheel 8 derivatives that combine 2 basic emotions. He referred to the resulting emotions as human feelings. Below is a list for your reference:

Awe = fear+ surprise Aggressiveness = anger + anticipation Love = joy + trust Remorse = sadness + disgust Optimism = anticipation + joy Disapproval = surprise + sadness Submission = trust + fear Contempt = disgust + anger

It is worth noting that the 8 derivative emotions above are also opposites of each other. Awe is the opposite of aggressiveness; love, remorse; optimism, disapproval; and submission, contempt.

There are other feelings in the wheel that result from changing the intensity of a basic emotion. Here is the complete list:

Joy (core emotion) serenity (less intense), ecstasy (more intense) Sadness pensiveness, grief Trust acceptance, admiration Disgust boredom, loathing Fear apprehension, terror Anger annoyance, rage Surprise distraction, amazement Anticipation interest, vigilance

HUMAINEs EARL

The Human-Machine Interaction Network on Emotion (HUMAINE) was a European Network of Excellence that aimed to lay the foundations for the development of emotion-oriented systems in the European Union. The project, which included experts/researchers from various fields and with different specializations, gave birth to the computer language EARL Emotion Annotation and Representation Language. There are 48 emotions in EARL, and these are further classified into ten categories, namely, you can read more about types of emotions :

Inferiority complex is characterized by the psychological condition of feeling inadequate, helpless, and weak in accordance with societal norm. Since the terms introduction in the early 90s by a psychologist named Alfred Adler, it found associations with those who struggle with poor self-image, lack of self-worth, uncertainties, and social anxieties.

With the help of hypnosis for confidence building, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychotherapy of sorts, an individual can improve self-confidence and eliminate inferiority complex.

Understanding the Psychological Condition

Signs: Anger accumulation Dependence on flattery Heightened sensitivity Overly judgmental attitude Out-of-place selflessness (the feeling that others needs are more important) Performance anxiety Social withdrawal

Inferiority complex is a condition that arguably arises from individual perception. It causes an individual to compete mentally, and think that his own qualifications cant amount to the qualifications of another. Immediate treatment is recommendable since it is negatively influential on a persons behavior. Once it exacerbates, it results to a derailment in learning and a staggering decline in performance whether academically or socially.

Admission of the Inferiority

Through various psychotherapy approaches, an individual gains mental clarity, which is crucial in the awareness of the inferiority complex. Usually, it is a subconscious mental problem; it wreaks havoc in passive-aggressive means.

Inferiority complex is a mental condition that necessitates attention to avoid worsening. While these can be initially harmless, the manifestations can lead to serious problematic behavior. As psychologists say, a greater level of inferiority comes with a more powerful and more violent reaction towards the agitator.

Thus, by refusing to deny the problem at hand, an individual with the condition can inch closer to the improvement of his confidence. While it is not always easy, the admission of personal weaknesses plays a fundamental role for the treatment. Since total self-honesty is essential, there exists familiarity with the true level of self-esteem. With thorough awareness, the recovery process can commence.

A Mental Reset

In beating inferiority complex, a total mental reset is necessary. Adopting a fresh perspective is helpful. Rather than to entertain overwhelming feelings of not being relatively excellent, it is an affected individuals duty to train his mind to carry positive thoughts. As much as possible, he should utopian thinking (or if only… thinking), competitive thinking, restrictive thinking, as well as the urge to satisfy standards.

The effectiveness of psychotherapy in addressing the problematic mental condition is unquestionable. Since it proposes the elimination of pessimism, it works wonders. With the right words of encouragement, an individual can begin feeling good about himself.
