11 Trademarks Of Shallow People

What is shallow? Well, I suppose it is people that don’t have any depth. They have an absence of feeling, social awareness, and no empathy. So wrapped up in their own self-imposed drama, they don’t see what is right in front of their face—the rest of the world. In a shallow person’s world, there is only one person who exists. Yet, there are different levels of shallow and it could be that someone is shallow some of the time, and not all of it.

Nobody wants to think about their shortcomings, but we all have them. You may be someone who just has a very slight amount of the shallow about them. Or, you could be someone who is very shallow but doesn’t see it. Now, I’m not suggesting that you’re a shallow person per se, but it doesn’t hurt to know what to look for, so you can rectify any problems before they arise.

We’re about to talk about common trademarks of shallow people, but it’s a good idea to sit down and have a good look at yourself. We’re all shallow occasionally and that’s nothing to be concerned about, but if you exhibit several signs on a regular basis, you may need to pull it back a little. Why not ask someone close to you and get them to give you their honest opinion? Self-discovery is never a bad thing and it helps us to improve and grow.

# You complain about people not doing what they say they’re going to do, even if they have a very good reason

If you don’t care about the reason why things inconvenience you but only that they do, then you are probably shallow. It helps to take a step back and consider other people might have a life too. Sometimes things are more important than your ass.

# You are annoyed when someone has a problem that messes up your day

If your day is the only thing that matters, guess what, it isn’t your day.

God didn’t create the world around you, and things don’t happen with your consideration in check. Maybe you ought to check yourself when annoyed because someone’s misfortune or hectic schedule isn’t convenient for you.

# Nothing is ever your fault

People are just way too sensitive. If you think what you said was taken wrong or someone is way too sensitive, think again. Shallow people think they only affect themselves.

News flash, if you haven’t heard of the butterfly effect either watch “13 reasons” or get a clue. What you do hurts and affects others, so grow the hell up.

You judge people by what they do, what they wear, or how they talk.

How about you stop judging people by what they choose, or better yet, what they can afford, and think a little more about what they add to the scheme of life. The clothes they wear are gone in a season, the imprint you make in life lasts for eternity.

# You never have an opinion about anything, which makes you think you’re morally superior

Never taking a side doesn’t make you nonjudgmental, it just makes you a coward. It is okay to be confrontational and stand up for what you believe in. After all, if you don’t ever stand up for anything or have any convictions, what do you have?

Never taking a side doesn’t make you morally superior, it means you don’t have the courage to say what you think and stand behind it.

# The light is on, but no-one is home

Yep, shallow people pretend to be all in, but they really never give anything of themselves at all. A blank slate is a blank slate, especially if it has no interest in being impressed upon.

# Anything real makes you uncomfortable

It isn’t that you need to be all in every deep conversation, but if you can’t ever join in anything that isn’t surface, guess what? That makes you one of the shallow people.

# So, you vacate the moment anything become serious

For God’s sakes, stop dodging life and take part. It really isn’t bad to be real and serious. I get the whole don’t dive in the shallow end, but sometimes, just sometimes, you have to go to the deep end with the rest of us.

# Not only is “sorry, I can’t” one of your go-to terms, but it dominates your response to anything that doesn’t benefit you

It isn’t that people who have depth are “yes, men” it is just that if you are someone who cares about someone more than just you, then helping others when they need it is just a part of your humanity.

If you can’t ever pitch in, roll up your sleeves, or give your time to something that might not benefit you, then you should consider the possibility that you are someone people call shallow people.

# You have several plans for the night and pick the best one, leaving everyone else in the lurcha1`

I know, I get it. There are always better plans right after you make some. But, that is a part of life and also a part of the ebb and flow.

To have good friends, you have to be a good friend. If you want to be shallow and always do what’s best for you, good luck. You won’t ever find true in anyone else either.

# Whenever there is a problem you are busy and can’t be bothered

If something doesn’t touch you, it doesn’t touch you. I get it, but you miss it. A shallow person just doesn’t see anything beyond themselves, so when a friend or even a family member needs your help, you’re likely to suddenly become very busy indeed.
