To be irked by friends 'confidence'?

[stuffedcookie]

One of my close friends is a really lovely person and has a lot of excellent qualities. She's also the vainest person I know and I don't know whether to be annoyed by it or to admire her belief in herself!

For example. She is constantly taking selfies. Whatever we are doing. We went out for a meal and drinks and I took pictures of both of us. When I take pictures she says 'oh my god I look stunning, can you send me them please'. When she takes pictures its just of her. She posts a lot on social media with captions like 'I know, I'm gorgeous'. On this evening out, I went to the bathroom and on my return she asked me how the lighting was, so she could go and do a photo shoot in the toilets.

Am I just bitter that I don't feel quite that confident in my looks or is she OTT?

'Fabulous' is not the word I'd reach for the describe someone who, on a night out, is focused on the potential flatteringness of the bathroom lighting for her personal photoshoot. I have this vision of her craning to get a good angle and avoid including the loo, by crouching on top of the sanitary towel bin or something.

Sounds excessive to me - all the picture taking. Just as song as her whole self worth is not based on her looks 😑 To be confident is one thing (and multifaceted) but arrogance puts me off. If her good qualities out weigh this all good. But arrogance regarding looks carries much weight for me.

She sounds horribly insecure to me

I'd look for a new friend
