You're So Vain

[Cafe AmyB]

Whether we think too much or too little of ourselves, we seem to live in a society full of the image obsessed.

Beauty and Weight Loss Specialist, Alicia Hunter, joins the Mad Life panel for this  ego-boosting conversation.

Why are we so vain?

[Juniper53098]

Because we WANT to feel good about ourselves.  Even if we don't, we don't want anyone else to KNOW that we don't like ourselves.

Because that is life & what is all on around us with regards to social media ;)

I completely agree with SlightlyPerfects's answer. Unfortunately that is the world we live in. I try not to let my daughter focus on looks considering she is only five.

While I do agree with tis,
I know for me I feel better wearing make up .. do you ?

Quoting elasmimi:

I have reached an age where most vanity is gone. When I was younger, I would never think of leaving the house w/o full makeup, dressed to perfection. Now comfort takes precedence over vanity. Maybe wisdom does come with age.

I agree that technology feeds off of our insecurities. That is why I think if we took one day a week or a month to just not go online or look in a mirror it would only better us.
