Though superiority and inferiority complexes sound as if just a few alphabets changed here and there, still they vary completely from each other. Both the complexities are actually end of two edges both not healthy of anyone's behavior pattern

A debate is when you are trying to prove a viewpoint. It can refer to formal arguments or less formal discourses but it implies you have a set view, doesn't it?

I could be a really nice guy if this website wasn't full of nosy people who insist on inserting themselves in the business of others to feel important, but it is, so I'm not.

What is superiority complex
Superiority complex is a feeling where a person tries hard to overcome his inferiority complex.

no, it's a matter of perspective. people look at your comments and go "wow what a guy with a superiority complex"
but behind the keyboard it is motivated by someone with the desire to feel important.

actually I just tabbed back to the wikipedia article and read the notice above it saying it was not written with citations and needed attention from an expert on psychology rofl oops
You guys are actually arguing that you can have both a superiority and inferiority complex.
No. You either think you are superior, or you think you are inferior. By definition, it is not possible to have both complexes
Definition of Complex: a related group of emotionally significant ideas that are completely or partly repressed and that cause psychic conflict leading to abnormal mental states or behavior.

Well, one compensates for the other. The rest of his post did have a level of validity though, and even if he's wrong it doesn't make him stupid, it just makes him (and me, now) wrong.

this is, by the way, supported by wikipedia, which I know is not an actual source but I'm too lazy to look any further. That doesn't mean people can't be condescending or insult others and genuinely believe what they say but yeah that's at least the wikipedia definition of superiority complex

You're literally stupid. You should retake those psych classes.
A superiority complex and an inferiority complex are entirely different processes of thought, and while they manifest with similar symptoms, you cannot have both.

Well, until I stopped being nice to his e-circlejerk I guess.
Once he decided he was welcome to take potshots at me I took the gloves off with him.

one is a defense mechanism for the other. hence, the need to make fun due to insecurity elsewhere

didn't you say becomeclear was being nice to you until you stopped being nice to him?

Another fun fact: I've never once insulted someone who hasn't insulted me first.
Some people need a lesson in humility. That's where I come in!

Did you even think about how stupid that is before you said it? Superiority complexes and inferiority complexes are two entirely separate things.
