^bEiNg VAIN!^

BEING VAIN

Vanity and pride are different things,

though the words are often used synonymously.

person may be proud without being vain.

Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves;
vanity,

to what we would have others think of us.

The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain,

egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous;

on the contrary it makes them
for the most part,
humble,
tolerant and kind.

My appearance has changed a lot over the years,

but it has far more to do with how I feel about being a woman.

I`ve never thought of myself as vain.

When I was at Cambridge,

I shaved my head and wore baggy clothes.

What I did was to desexualise myself.

I...
Right now, I feel like I look exhausted,

because I`m tired.

I`m not vain,
like:

I want to look pretty.

That`s never bothered me.

But if I see a photograph of me and I look tired,

then I`d be more worried than if I looked ugly.
