Ten kinds of pathological psychology

1. Oedipus/Electra complex: deep love for parents of the opposite sex

From Greek mythology, it is also one of Freud's most controversial ideas. The Greek hero Oedipus fell in love with his mother and had to kill his father in order to completely possess her. In the "Electra Complex", the daughter briefly longs for her father and blames her mother.

In both cases, a person's unhealthy attachment to his parents will lead to emotional development delays, lack of responsibility, and affect future interpersonal relationships. For men, they may always be looking for a woman who reminds them of their mother. On the other hand, if the mother-son relationship is not healthy, they may be particularly bad for women. For women, no man is better than her father, and she may have rejected those relationships that are perfect for her throughout her life.

2. The Virgin/Prostitute Complex: A man who regards women as the Virgin or Prostitute

Typical manifestation is a male who is unable to maintain proper love and sexual relationship with his partner. This psychological complex is formed in men, and they can only regard women as two extremes, one is the Virgin type of Virgin and the other is the prostitute.

Men with this complex want to get a woman who can be appreciated and feel sexually attractive. But once he starts to look at the women he admires with a sexual eye, he will feel disgusted with her.

3. God's Complex: A person believes that he has the power of God and is not responsible to anyone

Some top scientists, surgeons or consultants may have a "God complex" at the peak of their careers. This is perfectly interpreted in the movie Malice, when Alec Baldwin’s character was accused of misconduct, he said: “You ask me if I have a God complex, I am God.”

People with this psychological complex will think that social rules do not apply to themselves and may take risks.

4. Persecution complex; an irrational fear of being abused by others

This is a paranoia, and people with this complex think that they are in danger or that danger will happen, and always feel that someone is persecuting him. They feel isolated, think no one believes them, and start showing paranoid behavior. With this complex, people may feel that some people are targeting him or the group he is in and find it difficult to trust others.

5. Martyr complex: Rely on your own suffering to gain sympathy and attention from others

Martyrs always put others first and harm their physical and mental health, in order to get the attention and care they need. If they can’t get what they want, they may further develop physical self-harm or fall into deep psychological depression.

6. Inferiority complex: I feel that my life is not good enough

Each of us has dark days, and during these days we feel that we have not achieved our goals in life or achieved our due achievements. But if a person continues to feel this way, he will have a strong sense of inferiority complex.

This type of people compare themselves with others and feel that they are unsuccessful. They may try to make up for their inferiority complex through hard work or even through non-compliance and legal means to achieve their own set life goals. They cannot accept praise from others, tend to not care about their needs, and think that their efforts are not worth it.

7. Superior relationship: think you are better than others

This is the opposite of the inferiority complex. This kind of person thinks he is better than anyone else. Among peers and superiors, they think they are better than others. If they are willing to be with others, it is only for strategic reasons.

8. Guilt complex: Always blame yourself for something wrong

This type of person is born with a tendency to self-criticize, but they will accept criticism from others. Even if it is not their responsibility, they will accept the blame, and this is not what they should be. When evaluating themselves, they cannot be impartial and always put themselves in the wrong side.

9. Don Juan's complex: a man who regards women as the source of happiness

Having the ability to fascinate women and quickly leave them after having sex with them is the main feature of this psychological complex. This type of men will not stop until they are old, and they change their partners as frequently as changing bed sheets. They have no feelings about their attitude towards women and are generally single for the rest of their lives.

10. Hero Complex: I hope to become the center of attention of everyone, and sometimes I deliberately create a scene of saving people

This happened when a firefighter deliberately created a fire and then carried out rescue of people in the fire, gaining recognition through such a dangerous task.

Anyone with this complex will generally talk big, or even exaggerate their performance to attract the attention of others. In addition to firefighters, civil servants, doctors, and nurses are also prone to this kind of mentality and similar behaviors. This psychological complex can lead to fatal consequences.
