Response to three prompt questions

Do you think vanity reflects self esteem?
YES! Someone who is vain has a need to seem like the best, prettiest, more important etc. They find the need to push opinions on other people and to represent themselves as better than everyone else around them in order to delude them self into thinking that they are.
What makes someone vain?
Someone who is solely concerned with the way other people think about them, including looks, possessions, attitudes, and personalities. Someone who is solely concerned with making friends who are popular or make them looks better. Someone who only cares about how they seem rather than who they actually are. 
Is vanity wrong if it's not affecting anyone but them self?
It is still a negative trait if the person is hurting them self because this can hurt the people around them. It can hurt feelings, feel like a lie, or damage relationships. Being vain is never merely a personal decision, it does affect people around you. Being vain has to do with creating a specific form of interaction and interaction is with other people.
