The Buddha shares the three unwholesome thoughts - 1) concerning one's reputation, 2) concerning acquisitions, respect, and popularity, and 3) associated with inappropriate concern for others.
Vitakka sutta - Thoughts
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, as I have heard:
"Bhikkhus, there are these three unwholesome thoughts. Which three? 1) A thought concerning one's reputation, 2) a thought concerning with acquisitions, respect, and popularity, and 3) a thought associated with [inappropriate] concern for others. These, indeed, are three unwholesome thoughts."
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
Concerned with one's reputation, valuing acquisitions and respect; Rejoicing together with associates, Such a one is far away from the exhaustion of the fetters.
Having left behind children and cattle, marriage and acquisitions; Such a bhikkhu is capable of, attaining the highest awakening.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
