Reputation, the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something. In other words, don't screw up or else you're going to be known for your bad reputation as a jackass.
People often think reputation is more important than other crap however this is not true because they're too blind to see all reputation is false self-insurance.
If you're a person with a total ding dong then they are going to have a bad reputation if some person is a wonderful magnificent hero then most likely they are going to have a good reputation.
However, over the years, people started to live in vanity and snobbishness worrying about their reputation more than people's feelings this led them down to a dark path of drunken behavior and also lack of remorse.
Studies have shown that rich people are most likely to be miserable wrecks because they can find anyone to love them due to their self-importance.
Bad Reputation
A bad reputation is a bad thing like someone could be mistaken as a "huffer or a person who is a snob and feels they are entitled to treat people like garbage and get away with it. People like that or mostly politicians and rich snobs who trampled all over the poor people treating them like fleas and vermin. That is how a person gets a bad reputation because of their stupid actions boohoo "I'm so rich I can do whatever I want" attitude doesn't work that way.
