Vanity is a common psychological phenomenon that manifests itself in the desire for recognition, praise and envy from others, and often in order to meet this psychological need, people resort to various means to demonstrate their abilities and achievements.
However, vanity also has its negative effects, and excessive vanity can lead people to act irrationally and even affect an individual's mental health.
First of all, excessive vanity can lead people to pursue superficial things too much. In order to show their success and superiority in front of others, people may spend a lot of time and money in pursuit of superficial glamour. Not only is this behavior a waste of time and money, but it can also cause people to lose sight of what really matters, such as inner qualities, emotions, and spiritual pursuits.
Second, excessive vanity can lead to alienation in relationships. People often neglect to communicate and interact with others in order to demonstrate their abilities and achievements, which can make people feel lonely and lost. Because true friendships and relationships need to be based on mutual understanding, support, and respect, and vanity often causes people to lose these foundations.
To sum up, vanity is a common psychological phenomenon, but excessive vanity can have a negative impact on an individual's life and health.
