One should avoid confusing an optimistic personality with that of a vain person. Vanity is a negative characteristic that appears positivism poses, a vain person can wear a large mask of appearance that is deceptive and can pass as a positive person when in reality behind his mask there is a vile face.
The vain people in a phase called aesthetics that is limiting, can make them believe that people with low self-esteem are superior to the rest, they also believe that they are very sure of themselves, but they do not realize that someone with a real personality can detect immediately that it is about frauds; that they have hidden in their midst a great inferiority complex that they seek to neutralize however they also do not know, usually they are not aware that this complex does not neutralize them with their attitudes, they only cover it with a very thin and fragile layer. And of course, it is easy to distinguish these people, you should only pay attention to their actions always conducive to feeding your inflated ego.
Alfred Adler, in his book "Understanding Human Nature" talks about that person who confuses high self-esteem with vanity. A vain person is really a sick person. Adler says. "No other character flaw will attempt to impede the development of the human being, such as personal vanity, which forces the individual to approach each event and each neighbor with this anticipated questioning:" And what am I to obtain from this? "
The vain one who is like that because of his money, appearance or social position does not accept responsibility for his mistakes, always looking for someone else to blame. He always believes he is right, he tries to deceive, thinking that he can not be wrong.
Seeing in general what are the characteristics of negative and specifically vain people, both those who disguise themselves and those who show themselves as they are. Do not you think that the only possible alternative to be happy is the attitude of a positive person?
