Hare krishna to all devotees,
please accept my humble obeisances,
In a lecture of H.H Radhanath swami maharaj, he speaks about this topic. Although inferiority complex and humble attitude has a very thin line of demarcation it is quiet difficult for me to understand this subject matter. So, kindly illustrate.

Dear Prabhu,
please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I would say that inferiority complex means that we still want to be the lord and enjoyer of this material world, but we are not successful in our attempt and therefore we feel bad. We are still egocentric, but in a negative way.
Humble attitude means that we realize that it is by Krishna's mercy if we have some ability, it is His potency and He has given it to us. And when we are not successful in something, in spite of trying our best, we also understand that it is by the will of the Lord, therefore we do not feel bad. In this way, Krishna is the center, not us, and that is real humility.
I hope this helps you in some way,
Your servant,
Madhavi-lata d.d.
An inferiority complex is a persistent feeling of being inferior to others in some way. It is usually connected with a real or imaginary shortcoming in physical appearance, intelligence, personality, education, social status or economic status.
