EN: to feel inferior, to be overshadowed
That feeling when you're in a group project and there's that one "bibo kid" who does everything perfectly, and you just end up... there. You're not useless, but next to them, you feel like a side character in their "bida" story. That's mangilalim. It's the emotional equivalent of being stuck in the shadow of a much taller building.
From "mang-" + "ilalim" (under, bottom).
Describes a psychological or social feeling of being less than someone else.
