As said above.
What are some words to describe someone who always thinks that everyone else is acting as if they are superior.
An example of the type of person I'm talking about would be Frank Costanza from the TV show Seinfeld.

I first read this as "What's a synonym for someone with an inferiority complex?" The link below has 34 synonyms and none of them describe Frank Costanza. I think that's because Frank comes across as strong and aggressive, whereas people with inferiority complexes are seen as more passive.

Frank seems to have a "superiority complex" (possibly due to an inferiority complex). I bet there's a word for his type in Yiddish.
How about: lofty, condescending, or disdainful? Also Frank exhibits "hauteur".
