Narcissistic tendencies

Have you ever been caught up staring in the mirror for a long time? Thinking it's the only way you'll feel confident, cheerful and sure about your day's success and positive outcome? Vanity is a huge word nowadays that even the most simple acts of it seems to boost a person's self confidence at first. Even worst, people have plastic surgery to appease their own insecurity. Apparently, physical appearance is a factor for a person's personal development, be it in the workplace, within a group of friends or society as a whole. Let's site an example. Most celebrities have had "a little work done" over the course of their careers, going for the usual nip here or tuck there to improve their appearance and keep themselves looking youthful enough to keep landing the big roles; and then there are the few dozen who have taken cosmetic surgery procedures to their most extreme. SOme even end up having these procedures done resulting in even more painful and ruthless outcome or mistakes in operation. What causes people to overdo their grooming? This tends to stem from a psychological need for approval or in simpler terms, insecurity. When we become insecure, vanity is sure to follow as an act of cover up.
