What is a vain narcissist?
Simply put, it's the tendency to think very highly of yourself and to have little or no regard for others. A narcissist is selfish, vain, and a glutton for attention. But there's a range. Just because you have some of the traits doesn't mean you're mentally unhealthy. Is vain the same as narcissist? Compared to narcissism and personality, vanity has been largely unexplored. The difference between these constructs is that narcissism can involve self-perception, whereas vanity is primarily about appearance.
