have inferiority complex

The Spanish phrase 'tener complejo de inferioridad' translates to 'have an inferiority complex' in English. An inferiority complex is a deep-seated feeling of inadequacy or not being good enough. It's often rooted in childhood, whether from a specific event, relationship, or series of experiences. People with an inferiority complex often feel their challenges are bigger than everyone else's and tend to lack confidence in their abilities. They might overcompensate by boasting about achievements or belittling others to make themselves feel better. This English phrase and the Spanish counterpart are used in the same way in both languages to describe people with these feelings.
