According to Adler, all of us are born with the feeling of inferiority which is innate. We try to move towards completeness, we strive from lower to higher, from inferiority to superiority (striving for superiority is innate as well). Through superiority we conquer our ideal self and it's the basic motive of human behavior. Social interest is the end goal of completeness and plays a crucial role in how we perceive ourselves. It starts developping when we as children are exposed to life around us. So positive experiences from the environment, the experience of our body (pain, pleausure, discomfort) as well as education, define us and influence our ability to connect with others and our will to contribute. Having said all that, the feeling of inferiority is an normal emotion we all have to a different degree and it also depends on the task or the situation and it has to do with a sense of inadequacy we have. The complex of inferiority is about a pathological sense of inadequacy, an extreme and unhealthy from of inferiority based on a non realistic way we view ourselves, which dominates and cause maladaptive behaviors. Someone with this complex would withdraw, be pessimistic, believe that anything bad happening to him is because of life being so difficult. He would be like that trying to defend/cope with his excessive sense of inadequacy. He could also be extremely critical of himself (negative self-talk or lack of self-kindness) and avoid challenges, or he could be seeking constant validation to feel that he is valued. So in cases like these, therapy is helpful to find the underlying issues that cause the complex. Hope this helped.
Can you clarify what is the difference between a feeling of inferiority and an inferiority complex?
