When I try to look up advice about this issue I mostly find Catholic material, and it is pretty disheartening because it says that trying not to be vain is vain lol. And tell me the only way to overcome such a fault is through prayer and confession. But I am not Christian.

- dont look in mirrors, just to check before you go out
- focus on others or a cause, rather than yourself
- focus on admiring others, finding people to look up to, rather than looking down in criticism.
- learn new stuff; starting from nothing is always a little humbling
