Focusing on your strengths, improving those strengths for your own betterment and not for the attention of others is what will help you feel more confident.
I've tried emulating others because I respected them or because of hero worship. I always felt like I fell short. The biggest reason was because I was trying to be something that wasn't ME.

who cares what mask they wear? As was stated people do have their skeletons in their closets, but that referes more to pasts. I tend to think they have different crosses to bear. Maybe they have similar insecurities but they aren't as apparent, maybe they have different obsessions since they are now comparing themselves to someone else futher in their career.
inferiority complex? maybe you don't really mean it in it's truest sense, maybe you really mean you have low self-esteem. You want to have higher self esteem? Do esteemable actions, starting with that service and duty to the community. You have to start some place. They didn't just wake up one night and be that "better person."
