People who have an inferiority complex assume other people have a superiority complex, especially tall people. The reality is no one is inferior or superior to the next person, and that every person is also as different as a fingerprint. As long as that's true, equality doesn't exist since equality means exactly the same. Even identical twins are not exactly the same. The trouble is when people take the statement that no two people are the same and turn it into a statement that involves better than or less than.
Guy 1- There's no such thing as true equality, since true equality would mean everyone was exactly the same, and the world would be boring if it were like that.
Guy 2- First off, don't make me feel less than like you're better than me, I'll defend anybody that you make feel that way, we are all equal. You're saying you're better than me.
Guy 1- No, I didn't mention anybody being better or worse than you. I know what I said, I said that equality doesn't exist since no two people are exactly the same, and the world would be boring if they were the same. You're adding the rest and expecting nobody to react to your bullshit. Your inferiority complex is as much to blame for an argument as the attitude you said I had.

Desk Inferiority Complex is related to office envy and desk envy. A patient who suffers from desk inferiority complex will be working in a company where the desks are so small he or she believes they can't work properly and will need a larger desk. The disease manifests itself only after the patient has noticed that other companies have larger, strikingly bigger, massive, gleaming desks with satisfied looking workers sitting behind. According to Adler, all office workers experience feelings of desk inferiority as children having seen their father's big desks and spend the rest of their lives trying to compensate for those feelings.
John's desk inferiority complex has become so bad that he is now trying to use two desks with the pedestal between his legs.

It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive an inferiority complex ian to overcompensate, resulting in extreme schizotypal behavior.
Frank was isolated alone in his room, in fear of people laughing, condescending, or looking down on him. He was inferiority complex ian.
