Can I tell you something?

I’d like to believe I’m not vain but that’s just not true. I care about how I look and what people think when they look at me. I also care about how I smell though less so. Then there’s how they judge my home and auto, how I’ve lived my life, and what I’ve accomplished or not. Being vain, I assumed I was the only one who felt this way, but after discovering the popularity of social media, I was relieved yet somewhat disappointed to learn that everyone is vain, and with zero followers I’m obviously not very good at it.
