Napoleon complex for men

The experience of men about small growth is not always manifested in the form of a painful inferiority complex. Napoleon's complex is always accompanied by the suffering of a man about the smallness of his body, lack of strength and muscle mass, as well as a sense of his general imperfection. Internal struggle with their shortcomings forces a young man to make efforts in the development of intellect, creativity or sporting achievements. The desire for excellence over others makes him spend a lot of time devoting himself to studying one subject or phenomenon, about which he can talk for hours, becoming a scientific value in this field of knowledge.

The origins of the inferiority complex

Alfred Adler believed that the feeling of inferiority is inherent in every person, because The child, being brought up by adults, realizes that they are stronger and smarter than him. The inferiority of the child becomes the driving force of his development: the desire to grow as large and strong as the pope, or as beautiful and economic as his mother. But if, by its genetic characteristics, a person turns out to be lower in comparison with peers, the feeling of a child who must still grow remains his dominant one. The syndrome of Napoleon begins to manifest itself as a result of the suffering of the individual from the wrong approach in education:

1) Hyperopeka does not allow the child to show independence. Constantly cared for the baby, parents show their superiority over him, not allowing him to feel strong, healthy and skillful.

2) Hypoopecia, which manifests itself through the rejection of the child by the parents, forms inferiority in children, because They constantly feel unnecessary, unwanted, insecure in their abilities.

The combination of insufficiency of growth and errors in education contributes to the fact that the inferiority complex becomes not a driving force for the development of the child, but a pathological complex, which in psychology was called the "Napoleon complex".

Complex of superiority among passionate leaders

Passionarity is an innate property of people to absorb energy from the nearest natural environment and to realize it for the benefit of the development of the ethnos. In the theory of LNGumilev, passionary people are described as energetic warriors, generals with the ability to infect other people with their activity. Passionarians have increased sexuality, as well as a reduced need for rest. The complex of Napoleon in combination with innate passionarity forms a personality great in all respects. LN Gumilev drew attention to the fact that many outstanding commanders and rulers of states had low growth: Karl the Great, Alexander the Great, Mussolini and others. The complex of a small person is often accompanied by manifestations of increased aggression both in relation to the opponents, and in relation to rivals who have growth, which is much higher than the average. Many characteristics of passionate leaders are considered by modern researchers not only as a manifestation of their innate, but also acquired social qualities, as a result of upbringing. Therefore, Napoleon's complex throughout life can be supported by the energy of passionarity of low men.

The inferiority complex can equally be manifested in both women and men. The complex of Napoleon is a manifestation of only masculine features. Women are by nature less risky and less aggressive. If only a modern lady does not take the place and position of a man, shows more masculine, rather than feminine qualities, strives for excellence over others, and considers her low growth not as miniature but as weakness and shortcoming.
