Casals goes on to describe the musician’s attentive self-control in which he imagines his audience’s expectation of a profound musical experience. In contrast to my analysand, however, Casals seems to have been sufficiently confident that he could actually fulfill such expectations.

In general, compulsive self-observation becomes a problem only when others are present. Seeing ourselves as if through the eyes of others, we lose access to our own spontaneous wellsprings. We feel unremittingly exposed to the looks of others, whom we imagine as critical and derogatory. For example, a young man who suffered from an inferiority complex kept complaining to me about how he assigned others too much importance, and how he oriented himself too much according to what others thought about him. This made him unsure of himself. It took some time for him to realize that these “others” were projections of his own disapproving attitude toward himself.

I hope that in the foregoing I have raised some relevant viewpoints on the inner dynamics of the inferiority complex and its relationship to shame.
