superiority complex

Unberably irritaing as it sounds, but could it be as dangerous as its opposite?

While inferiority complex was well accused for human being failure to achive excellence, dragging down one's potential to fly high, superiority is another question. It is not going to as straight forward as the opposite of inferiority complex due to the reason it deals with slightly different component of success.

Overconfident is a problem. It can be as destructive as low self esteem. By and large, these complexes will affect the social relationship the most. More likely than not, both are not likeable. However, how mass community are misusing such a big psychological label on other people are surprising. If we were to look up the meaning of superiority complex or inferiority complex from the psychologist point of view, then only we come to realisation how cruel we had been all this while.

Labelling in any kind just don't really help.
