Ha maybe the easy, quick way is to quit believing in all the hyped up, fake personalities inhabiting human bodies that believe themselves to be real. Think about it.

I mean people carry a lot of fake personalities like masks and that a lot are to present to a certain way towards other people and herd thinking. I think most people aren't exactly that authentic

I went to the article and this therapy is for those mentally ill or with psychological disorders. Leaving this part out of your post is to assume ALL people are in this category of being mentally ill and/or with psychological disorders and have a need to fit in. Is this your perspective Griff?
This therapy focuses on helping people to fit into society at large and their community. Individuals that have the need to fit in, are usually not at forums or out seeking truth in general since that would negate efforts of fitting in ie. wearing masks, or agreeing with mainstream views.
This article has the view that it takes courage to change oneself and one's flawed thinking into a more fitting societal person that will fit in and belong.. Being re-adjusted with attitude, beliefs, and lifestyle choices to make one fit in might be a motivator for those "inferior" to make them "superior".
CAn anyone else besides me see many problems with this therapy or even the belief that all humans must feel inferior?
Is it really a human drive to overcome inferiority and become superior? LoL to me, this sounds like Bill Gates main problem, and all those elites out there, they are inferior, but act superior. They don't know who they are without the lesser ones (general population) to show them their superior-ness.
I remember when I was little, it was near impossible to buy brown eggs, only the white ones were sold and were accepted, the brown ones seemed inferior. These days everyone likes the brown eggs and they cost more than the "white" ones. Who is to say which is superior and which are inferior??

I took it from a therapy site yeah (actually financial) but for me at least I am looking at it more as a "philosophy" and way of thinking rather that the therapeutic technique ( in the sense of going to get therapy anyway) There is a "trendy" book on it that's better in that way called the courage to be disliked and also the courage to be happy. The idea is that you can change things here and now, that we are seperate individuals and instead of freudian ideas and that which dig into the past. And teleology looking at the why of phenomena instead where, why do we act like we do, are we avoiding something? But this was still an interesting summary. I'm not sure how much I believe in therapy anyway but it can be useful if you need a bit of support or someone to talk to and aren't able to do your own work on it, need prompting, for bigger issues. Overcoming inferiority complex doesn't make you superior I assume, superiority complex is also an issue but find those terms as useful or not useful as you wish, it's more people who are feeling extremely inadequate and incapable, but feeling somehow superior to others is also unhealthy both are a defense mechanism. But yeah all these rich people do want to try and show they are good better people or whatever and philanthropy is way they try to show that but it is more just a show for the world than anything. I think humans do what to always do better and experience new things however to be superior isn't the goal at least always. I think the label of mental illness is often very unhelpful as they are not exactly illness in the same way as physical. And if anything mental illnesses are often just constructed so they can "give meds" they actually vote on what to call a mental illness next. And when you think and look at what used to be deemed as a mental illness you can see the ways in which they were constructed. There can be genuine issues at the root ofc. But things like "spirit attachments" and that aren't exactly recognised at all. Most of us go through life challenges and issues but they are often temporary, and even if they are long lasting or even "permanent" to call it a mental illness seems to do it injustice unless you actually are born with something or are some how physically damaged. I can see your ideas on the problem of fitting in and I very much agree that it's not something to aim for. I think for me I just take what I can from it. But actually the other thing is that in life you can't always avoid people and the idea is to deal with that. In the book the courage to be disliked the idea is that you should do things sometimes that might get you dislike from others for your own sake and stop looking at other people to praise you all the time. In the end its just one way of thinking about things and its not always helpful to think that way but some aspects of it are useful. Here is a little summary of the book I mentioned (though tbh I think it is a little too brief lol) eriktorenberg.substack.com/p/book-summary-the-courage-to-be-disliked
