Vanity or being vain is when you think highly of yourself especially ones appearance (being very proud of yourself to a point of arrogance)...self love...conceited...being confident is one thing...being vain is another!

When someone is self obsessed to a point where it almost causes body dismorphia. The individual is over complacent and egoist about his pride and feels like he deserves to be that proud ( vain ) about his accomplishments.

Anybody who tries to put their name or their lover's name on Urban Dictionary. It's like writing how great and awesome you are on a toilet seat or a mirror. Nobody gives a fuck.

Something for which most people are too hypocritical to understand. It's also the reason beautiful people make more money and have more friends.
Your boss: Jeff, you've got a beautiful, trustworthy face and dress in vain, custom-made suits. I'm giving you a promotion and a raise!
