I think that your reasoning likely applies to some or many, but it is in no way reflective of why I dislike preening myself.
I've experienced excessive vanity, I've experienced blatant narcissism. I also recognized the capacity for both within myself, which is what makes posing in front of a mirror feel so slimy to me. I just don't know if others feel this way, or have had similar reactions.
