5 Biggest Signs You Are Simping

If you’ve visited TikTok or any social media recently, you might have heard the new phrase on the block simp or simping. Do know the signs you’re simping?

Phrases attached to the dating world come and go, so it’s normal not to pay too much attention. But simping doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. So, as much as we might not want to, it’s a good idea to figure out what it all means. Then, if it actually connects with you, you can do something about it.

Simping is the behavior is which a person tries excessively hard and does way too much to impress someone. In most cases, simps almost give up their self-respect entirely just to make a particular person fall for them.

To make it easier to understand, a simp is someone who attracts a partner not by focusing on themselves and being an entertaining type, but by faking niceness, attentiveness, and regularly uses fawning behavior. This is done usually to get that person into bed. Pretty shady, right?

# Always trying to do everything to impress

You’re never just yourself. You’re always trying to impress everyone around you, but you do it in a way which tries to attract pity. It’s wet. To be honest, it’s a little pathetic.

As one of the signs you’re simping, always trying to impress people means that you’re basically casting your net as wide as possible and hoping someone falls into it.

# Putting yourself last

I don’t advocate putting yourself last because you’re denying your own needs. Sure, there are some situations in life where you should think of others and put their needs a little before your own, but if you’re doing it constantly you have to ask yourself why.

It shows low self-esteem, and you need to focus on building that up and finding someone who wants to be around you for the person you are, rather than pretending to be something you’re not. Focusing on everyone else just means that you’re suffering, and nothing else.

# You have a pretty poor dating history

Okay, this one might not be your fault, but look at patterns of behavior.

Do you always fall into the same trap? Or do you always end up doing everything for someone only to end up left behind? Do you regularly impress the life out of someone, only to get what you want and then move on perhaps? These are all signs you’re simping, and it is simply poor form.

You can’t help a bad dating history, but you can change what you do from this point onwards. And, you know what? Being strong and yourself is actually quite attractive!

# You let people walk all over you

This particular sign is only in the dating spectrum. Do you regularly let people you’re trying to attract walk all over you and let them say and do whatever and you don’t respond?

Again, hello? Where is your dignity? Letting someone walk all over you is not going to build a strong relationship, but if you’re a true simp, that’s not really what you want, is it?
