Hey I’ve been struggling with developing a character’s inferiority complex. Do you have any tips on ways to show not tell this?
An inferiority complex can be described as a chronic low self-esteem, a consistent feeling of inadequacy.
Causes:
a low status in the social hierarchy
specific aspects about themself (physical or something else) that are looked down upon in society
being talked down on a lot
a lack of parental acceptance
failing to live up to high expectations put upon them
not reaching a goal they decided on themself
How to show a character's inferiority complex:
People act differently with this diagnosis, sometimes also depending on the situation and the person they are with. Here are some ideas.
show them focussing on negative aspects a lot
not being able to see it when something did work out well for them
talking badly about themself
withdrawing from friends and family
not being able to take a compliment or criticism
demeaning other's as a way to make other's feel as bad as they do
trying to get attention and even pity
can be shown through perfectionism
and not being able to cope well if something does not fit into the standard they have
I hope this helps you out!

When I first started writing, it took me a while to learn that writers, you don't need permission
you don't need permission to write a messy first draft
you don't need permission to add everything that makes you happy into your wips
you don't need permission to write in the way that suits you
you don't need permission to write a certain POV or a certain character or a certain trope
you don't need permission to write what you love, even if it isn't 'marketable'
the homophobic teenage boys in the DN fandom are so weird and annoying lmfao. they rage about light not being canonly gay but he basically is. did the creator actually say the word gay? no, but Ohba doesn’t actually have to say the word gay, not to mention obvious censorship especially at the time DN was actually written.
the manga clearly states and consistently stresses that light yagami does not like women, that he has no interest in women. this is not something shown only after he creates the personality of Kira. it is revealed that even before light picked up the DN, he consistently rejected girls and made the excuse that he would not date until college. while he is Kira, he consistently manipulates various women who show interest in him, while either internally or outright rejecting them.
Light also consistently shows more interest in male characters throughout the manga, even before he obtains the DN. he shows more interest in Mikami vs Takada despite them both being fairly equal in terms of intellect and drive. even before he obtains the DN, while with male highschool friends, he asks one to send him a New Year’s card and the friend replies, “sorry, I only send them to girls.” Misa even outright accuses L and Light of being gay. this would obviously suggest the author is very much aware of what they are writing and implying. did Ohba say light was gay? no. but Ohba DID say that light was incapable of loving women, while also stating that light was very much capable of experiencing love and other human emotions. cope <3
