What's the difference between 자격지심, 열등감, and 피해의식? Can someone explain the differences between the three and explain when to use them with some examples?? Thanks!

자격지심: sense of inadequacy, guilt, etc (one's action or status is inadequate, wrong...). 열등감: feeling of inferiority. (열: inferior, 우: superior, 우월감: sense of superiority). 패해의식: feeling that one is being taken advantage of or unfairly treated; victim mentality. ex) 그는 자격지심으로 얼굴도 들지 못했다. He couldn't keep his face up out of a sense of guilt. 열등감에 사로잡히다. be taken by an inferiority complex. 없는 사람들은 언제나 가진 자들에 대한 피해 의식에 사로잡혀 있는 것이다. => The poor are always held sway by a victim mentality against the rich.
