What I Hate About Boredom...

What I hate about boredom is that it fancies a lot to bring your sanity at the brink. Sure thing, there are a million and one ways to remedy it, but the playful universe once in a while purposely brushed one’s emotion to remind you of your imperfections. I know this shall pass. It’s gonna be okay, but at the juncture no books, no booze, and no band can save me. It is exhausting to keep on running away only to find yourself at the very same spot you are supposed to escape…

Vanity vs Narcissism

Excessive pride in one's appearance, qualities, abilities, etc.-that is how dictionary.reference.com defines vanity. I really have no idea why I attached the photo and have vanity as my theme for my first post.

First, maybe to tell the world I have my vanity moments too. Second, maybe I just want to flaunt my new pair of shoes (definitely loco with killer heels). And third, maybe I am extremely bored waiting for my meeting that I could not think of any good topic but self.

Boredom made me buy heels.

Vanity is a kind of thing that is inexcusable to anyone I think. Our human nature just loves the limelight in various aspects. Sometimes, it is simply irresistible to advertise our emotion on getting the latest gadget, eating in a fancy resto, or hopping the pristine beaches in Spain.

Personally, I am guilty of using narcissism and vanity interchangeably. However, it had been cleared to me that a certain dose of vanity is a positive thing over narcissism. As define, narcissism is more of an obsession with looks, status, or anything.

But how are you going to tell if a person have gone to be a certified narcissist from being vain? One of my favorite blogs, Psychology Today diagnosed one to be a narcissist if he/she:

1. Got an ultimate self-importance (I am the most significant person in this room.)

2. Has lavish fantasies (Hey, I can do anything I want. I have the power!)

3. Believes she is unique (Nobody can ever understand me but those individuals of the same IQ, economic status, etc.)

4. Loves admiration to the nth level (Look at these shoes, they so cool right? There is no one here got the same as this.)

5. Is arrogant (No one has ever beaten my sale status. Stop trying man!)

Well I think there are a lot to add in the list but I think these are the most basic. 

They say posting of things about yourself is not a bad thing especially if you haven't trampled anyone's right. It is a way of expressing who you are. It is about branding oneself. The thing is maybe to maintain a healthy dose of vanity. This will actually inspire the individual strives to be better.
