Inferiority complex

This is what every normal human has. The question is always where and how much do you suffer from it. Some people have a power complex in work, but suffer inferiority in their love department. Others vice versa.

Take my friend D. He’s the same age as me, but he’s not someone absolutely career driven & money crazy like me, he’s instead Mr. Nice-Compliant-Guy with the happening hairstyle and boyish charm, the average Joe. D’s quite good with the ladies, but he’s not so obsessed with chasing money or career, and he hates sales. Now, I am the absolute opposite, as Mr. Gung-Ho & Materialistic career man, purely driven by success and not afraid to go into sales and fighting for what I want in work.

And today, he again tries to convince me that I can change … I can go for some girl, so he rhapsodizes about how to listen to a girl, give her the TOTAL attention (& service), how to go for her hand … etc. And he nicely summed it up as, man … you CAN, you just got to get hold of your guts and just do it.

Me, on the other hand, just listened, shook my head and laughed wistfully. First, for the fact that it’s ironic he cannot change himself to be more career-driven & fight for what he deserves, which is something I always advocate to him. 2ndly, for the fact that I just didn’t meet someone that I like so much, I would go the extra mile. Perhaps also that I did like someone, but just lazy to go the extra mile, hence as wise men say, no pain, no gain. Hahaha. Or is he simply right that I have no balls to spill my heart out? Sigh. I cannot even deny it.

God is fair, for every gift he bestowed upon you, he also gave something less and more to others. Or could be, his plans for me is to be more than a normal married guy?

Anyway, thanks for your worry D, here’s a drink to you. And to superiorty & inferiority complexes.
