My Self-contempt

Self-respect

Self-esteem

Self-complacency

Self-possession

Tuned-up nose

last fugitive remnant of well-being and self-complacency has collapsed and disintegrated.

As a pitiful and ridiculous figure

Unendurable

My first impulse, my first instinct, was to try

Cloak my contemptible wretchedness

It was all vanity

To hold myself aloof from society and turn my back on it

I am too vain to bear its scorn and disregard

I cannot live without the approval of the society

I am unable to view myself except through the eyes of others

A bad conscience

A good conscience

To forfeit one’s own opinion of oneself

Stricken vanity

Briefly visit the town on business

In good faith

He continues most cordially

To express his respect for me and pay me compliments

Crestfallen embarrassment

He senses this

Consider me a superior man

Undisguised contempt

Let his mind wander in contemplation

Bring him back to reality

He holds his head high
He stands as if rooted, with his hands clasped behind his back and his eyes to the ground
