Anyone in the world, big or small, fat or thin, black or white, can feel somewhat inferior to everyone else. These things we tell ourselves, that we aren't good enough, pretty enough or smart enough, are in no way based on facts. This article will go through simple steps through which you or anyone can overcome any inferiority complex you may face.

Bear in mind that every human being in this world is different; no one face or body is the same. Your 'inferiority' as you may refer to it, can also be seen as a unique or individual quality. What makes you feel these things are 'inferior' to everyone else? If there is no norm amongst human beings, how can there possibly be any form of inferiority?
Ignore what others may perceive of your 'inferiority', everyone you walk past in the steets and towns 99.9% pay no attention to you what so ever
If you have a complex about a specific body part, think hard about what makes them 'inferior' to everyone else's. Write this on paper if it helps. Seriously think about the logic of this; you're not going to seriously get stopped in the street for having what you think of as 'inferior' hands or feet.
not alone.

• If your inferiority is physical, avoid looking in the mirror too much in the first stages.

• Never refer to your differences as inferiorities!
  
• Never listen to anyone who puts you down.
  

• The mind-set to change

• Good friends
  
• Positivity
  

White dresses are refreshing and summery. The colour white connotes purity, innocence and liberty. Wearing white dresses well, however, is a little more complex than the simplicity suggested by the colour. This article provides some pointers on wearing a white dress well.

Be sure that white suits you. White doesn't suit all people but it is a colour many can wear without problems (provided the fit of the dress looks good). Warm skin tones go well with white; if you have a tan or naturally dark skin, white looks amazing. If white makes you look washed out, avoid it.

Avoid this look

Select a solid and opaque white dress. White fabric suffers the curse of being see-through in many instances. When you shop for your white dress, check the transparency factor. To do this:

• Place the dress up against the light.
• Hold a hand behind the dress.
• Look for your hand and see how obvious it is. If you can see the color and form of your hand, that dress is going to show everything underneath!

Select quality fabric. Quality fabrics are less likely to be see-through. Some dresses may even be lined. Look for heavier count cottons, linen and some manmade fabrics.

Keep it flowing

Avoid clinging white dresses. White is not a colour that lends itself to good flattering when it clings to your curves. Select white dresses that billow, flounce and flow. White is about summer, freedom and breezes, so make sure that the dress reflects these features well.

Wear underwear that is the same colour as your skin. Don't wear white underwear, nor any other colour (other than your skin colour) for that fact. Skin-toned underwear will ensure that nothing peeps through to draw the eye to the wrong place; use skin-coloured slips, underpants and skin-coloured bras.

Choose an appropriate shoe to match a white dress. White is the color of purity and simplicity. If you want to stand out, you can add red high heels with your white dress, but some people might consider it over the top--and if that's what you're going for, that's good! Otherwise...

• 
  Beige, camel, brown and soft grey make great colour choices.
• 
  Silver, bronze or gold metallic sandals or flip flops are always perfectly fitting with white.
• 

  These would be overwhelming with a white dress
  Avoid wearing white sandals or shoes, as this will create an overwhelming effect.

Choose appropriate accessories. White is a canvas that will suit many kinds of accessories but a key element is to keep it simple. Never overwhelm the white canvas. Wooden accessories go well (bangles, beads etc.), as does any metallic jewelery.


White has a "goody-two-shoes" image. It is recommended to show a little skin if you want to challenge this image a little.

Speaking assertively is not magic. It is a technique that you can practice at home in your own time, by yourself or with close ones to provide feedback. This article provides some tips on how to go about assertive communication.
When you talk, use the word "I". Avoid using the word "you", as this stops you from trying to make the other person responsible, blame them or put words into their mouth.
Maintain eye contact in a way that is both natural and comfortable. Don't outstare a person but do look them in the eyes regularly to show your interest in them and your certainty in yourself. If you worry about looking into the eyes, look just above.
Keep your body posture alert and confident. Don't slouch and think of stretching yourself from your head to your toes, sitting or standing. Pay particular attention to the neck, shoulder and upper back regions. Also, don't give off angry or self-effacing vibes - stand/sit straight!

Avoid confusing messages. Mean what you say. If you say yes, you should mean it. If you say no, you should mean it. Don't go back on promises or firm statements.
Remember that silence is a tool, not an enemy. Learn to be comfortable with silence and use pauses to main effect to let the other person digest what you have just said. This is also useful for public speaking - people hang off what you have just said and wait for your next words.
Always know what you want when you are asking for something from another person. Keep this goal in mind and don't sway.
Speak clearly. Always. Mumbling, muttering and circular sentences do nothing to further communication.
Don't swear (curse) or talk rudely in tone. Use proper language.
Be careful about the tone of your voice. Keep it evenly moderated and avoid getting a high-pitched, whiny or tearful tone.
If you feel tears or anger coming on, breathe very deeply from the stomach - you should be able to see your stomach rise out and pull back in. This deep breathing will calm you in as little as 4 - 5 breaths.
Be careful to speak at a conversational level - not too loud and not too soft. If you are too soft, the other person will think you are trying to hide yourself and may ignore you. If you are too loud, the other person may become scared or angered by your voice.
The most important thing is to believe that you are responsible for yourself. No-one else is responsible for how you behave and who you are. And your wants are as real as anyone else's. Don't blame or resort to whining about another person's behavior.
Express your emotions clearly. Focus on how you feel rather than saying "you did X, Y, Z."

If you are someone who keeps your emotions repressed and your body muscles take the full brunt, it is important to exercise and stretch those muscles to stop this. You will stand taller, breathe better and feel stronger if you do this and exercise helps to free your emotions.
If the conversation becomes too heated, ask for time-out or a break. Explain that it has nothing to do with the other person, it is just that you feel confused, tired or need time to reflect and that you will resume the conversation later.
Don't yell or say things you'll regret later. This may seem like an easy option at the time but memories linger and it achieves nothing more than agitating and angering both parties. Assertiveness is about conveying your wants and needs without raising your voice.
Learning assertive communication takes time. Don't give up, just keep on practicing in everyday situations - supermarket queues are excellent!
Many of us try to seek people's approval in our actions, speech etc. Before we do something or say something, we try to think whether the other person will get angry at us or not. We try to avoid saying things that can earn the wrath of others, even if that is the right thing to say or do. When we let go of this habit, we will not only be able to freely express our thoughts, we can also become more assertive. we will say and do things without bothering what others will think of us, and it can help turn us into a more charismatic person.
You should care if you offend someone. You should care for others' feelings but in a positive way, not in a way which weakens you. There is no problem if you hesitate to say something because you do not want to hurt the listener, but if your hesitation is due to fear and not because of genuine sympathy for the listener, then you need to work on overcoming this negative trait within you.
If you have been in the habit of constantly seeking other's approval, then you might not overcome this habit overnight but if you keep working at it, eventually you should.
If you suffer any form of violence, seek immediate professional help or a refuge/shelter. Violence is not communication; it is domination.

Time to practice breathing and speaking clearly in front of a mirror
Family or friends you can trust to practice with
An open mind and a courageous heart

You need to know why you chose the belief. What reason did you have? Make sure it is a good reason so you aren't caught off guard or look bad.
Do plenty of research on it. If it is a different religion, look up the religion in textbooks or on the internet. If it is a style, you may do research if you want, but also you need to stand as to what you wear, and explain that it's not evil--it's just different.
On a piece of paper, record all of the data you've uncovered.
Confront the person you are trying to convince. If they often come to you, be prepared. Maybe practice discussing it with yourself, a friend, or somebody you can trust.
Firmly tell them that your religion/belief is what you believe in. Stand up for it, and don't take their discouraging words. Have confidence that your belief is the right thing for you, because to the best of your knowledge, it is true.
Don't get offended if others question your beliefs. If you are truly secure about them, then you have nothing to worry about.
Understand that some beliefs are antiquated, and need to be put out to pasture.
