Abstract

The concept of the Dorian Gray Trait, inspired by Oscar Wilde's renowned literary work, delves into the intricate interplay between self-perception, the fear of aging, and the pursuit of eternal youth. This article explores the psychological dimensions of this trait, wherein individuals harbor an intense preoccupation with maintaining their youthful appearance, often at the cost of their overall well-being. By examining the underlying factors that drive this phenomenon, including societal pressures and personal anxieties, we aim to shed light on the broader implications for mental health and self-image.
