Now everyone knows that people have complexes. Not so well known, although much more important from a theoretical point of view, is the fact that complexes can possess us.
Jung. Review of complex theory
The term complex comes from the Latin complexus
- connection, combination.
This Latin term has been used for a very long time, including in medicine, for example, complex of symptoms
.
The idea of using associations
to explain mental processes was so popular in the 19th century that a whole direction arose -
associative psychology
, which studies
complexes of ideas
, the roots of which go back to the 18th century. to the philosophical works of David Hume.
The merit of psychoanalysis is not the introduction of the term complex
, and not the use
of associations
to explain mental activity, but the creation of
a new method of treatment
as a result of the study of complexes.

Causes
The causes of complexes may be the following:
- Wrong upbringing. The most important role for a child is the opinion of his parents about him.
If during the process of upbringing the mother or father repeatedly pointed out any shortcoming of the child, this may lead to the creation of a corresponding attitude in him. - Influence of friends. In childhood, when the child is not yet able to fully form his self-esteem, it is significantly influenced by his peers, especially those with whom he has established friendships. If friends were inclined to express their opinions about any qualities of the child in a negative way, this attitude towards themselves may persist into adulthood.
- Intimate partner. During puberty, especially during the first intimate experience, a teenager very acutely experiences dependence on the opinions of others. If a partner or person for whom an individual feels sympathy unintentionally or deliberately negatively evaluates any character trait or appearance, this can cause a complex to arise.
- Own perception. The reason for the development of a complex may be a person’s own attitude towards his qualities, even if those around him do not allow themselves to focus on this or that person’s shortcoming. Comparing oneself with others in the presence of any real shortcoming, as well as a tendency to low self-esteem, can also be the cause of a person’s complexes.
For the most part, the reasons for the emergence of complexes are associated precisely with a person’s childhood experiences, which retain subjective significance for a person in adulthood.

Due to completeness
How to get rid of the complex of completeness?
This question concerns girls more than boys, although the former and the latter should not be upset at all, especially if this is perceived as a reason for unattractiveness to people of the opposite sex.
Often the reason for this complex is the imposition by TV and other information resources of their own concepts of beauty, although in reality it is very different from reality.
Many men and women like representatives of the opposite sex, as they say, “in the body.” For an impressive portion of the remaining ones, appearance does not play a primary role - that is, it is not a decisive factor in choosing a partner.
At the same time, the presence of a complex, a painful awareness of one’s own inferiority will only do harm - it is much better to behave absolutely naturally.

Basic concepts and definitions
What are complexes in humans?
Complexes are a distorted self-esteem of a person that differs from the objective opinion, as a result of which he experiences a stressful state.
At the same time, as a rule, he strives to hide his shortcomings from others.
What does it mean to have a complex? To have a complex is to experience embarrassment, embarrassment, and emotional suffering from the fact that others will evaluate the qualities that a person considers to be his shortcomings.
As a rule, a complex person is withdrawn, as he strives to hide his shortcomings.
At the same time, this position often does not allow him to fully reveal his capabilities, fetters actions and expressions of emotions, and prevents him from adapting to the situation.
A complex person often experiences anxiety when making any decision and is prone to doubt. He may avoid contact with others, fearing ridicule of himself and negative evaluations.
Sometimes the desire to hide one’s imaginary shortcomings leads to atypical, inappropriate actions - a sharp interruption of communication, refusal of what one wants when it becomes available for the reason that a person feels unworthy of any benefits.
>However, complexes can also lead to a difficult experience of the success of those around them and even those closest to them - while a complex person may feel envy of those who, in his opinion, do not have such shortcomings and try to prevent them from achieving success.
A person devoid of complexes accepts himself as he is - at the same time, he maintains objective self-esteem, but does not experience negative feelings due to the presence of any shortcomings.
He does not focus on his weaknesses, which allows him to use his strengths more effectively.
