Cultural Note
In Spanish culture, where humility is highly valued, being called 'vanidoso/a' is a pointed criticism. It implies excessive self-admiration and a lack of the modesty that is socially expected. The concept is tied to the Catholic tradition of vanity as one of the seven deadly sins. 'Creído/a' is the more colloquial version.
