Superficial Person Alert 36 Shallow Traits They Just Can't Hide

A superficial person is someone who is all about the surface or appearances. Not having much underneath, it is best not to expect much from them!

A superficial person is all about the surface. That means they couldn't care less about what is going on underneath. Superficial people care about one person only, and that's themselves.

Not very much fun to be around, a superficial person isn't going to be your lifesaver, your emergency contact, or the person you contact if you ever need anything - because a relationship with them is all about what you provide.

Superficial person alert - 36 traits they just can't hide

Being superficial seems like you get the best with giving very little. What it really means is you aren't being genuine or real or all that nice. Instead of being superficial, you might want to dig a little deeper to find the real you lurking underneath.

#1 Goes where the wind blows. Yep, a superficial person doesn't have an opinion or conviction that can't be swayed, convinced out of, or just eradicated without much pressure. A superficial person can't be bothered with caring about a “cause” or anything that really exists outside of them.

#2 Has friends because of what they can do for them. Superficial people only want to be with people who have something to contribute. A relationship is one-sided and all about the inequity that flows continually in their favor.

#3 Is more concerned about their looks than their goodness. All about appearances, a superficial person is all about what they look like on the outside and not what is in their heart. Goodness is only good if they do it to get something.

#4 They smile while talking but look you up and down. The emotion they display doesn't necessarily match what they think. A good “Bless your heart,” and they are all good to rip you to shreds the moment you aren't within ear's distance.

#5 Gossip is about as deep as they get. If they have something to contribute it is typically “Did you hear about… ”

Gossip is about as deep that a superficial person goes in conversation. 'Cause they use the guise of “I am really worried about ___.” They worry about nothing but having a juicy story to tell that puts them in the heart of attention.

#6 They have nothing to add to, well, anything. You know when you have a conversation? There is something called “adding a little.” That is not anything that a superficial person ever does. They don't even listen to what you have to say because they don't care what you have to say. They probably just like watching your lips move.

#7 Their goal is simply “me.” If it doesn't benefit the big one “ME,” then I am not going to throw any energy or anything into the prize.

#8 If it isn't name brand they ain't wearing it. All about the labels, not only will they not wear anything that doesn't have a famous label on it, they look down on anyone who isn't doing the same. Existing is all about looking your best, so you best look your best by wearing expensive shit.

#9 Will do anything for all eyes on me. A superficial person exists on attention. If they aren't getting it, they do whatever it takes to get all eyes on them. Overreacting, being a drama queen, starting rumors, it makes no difference, it is all about having the adoration of everyone around them.

#10 Nothing is ever genuine besides their purse. The only thing that is genuine about a superficial person is their brand name purse. Trust it, there is no such thing as a knockoff in a superficial person's world.

#11 Their iCloud has reached full capacity due to their selfies. If you can't decide which is the best selfie to post today, then check yourself, you are probably superficial.

#12 Their social media persona is the only one that exists. There is a social media persona that people create, and then there is the real person who is about a tenth of the intensity of the persona created. If you and your social media persona are the same, you just might not be genuine, which makes you superficial.

#13 They chat it up, but when it is your turn to talk they tune out. A conversational narcissist has all the makings of a superficial person. The only interesting thing they find are those things that involve them. So, if you start talking to a superficial person, they hijack the conversation, so it always comes back to “me.”

#14 They date someone to up their status, not 'cause they like or even know them. A superficial person dates someone just to up their own status. It makes no difference if there is a connection or sexual attraction. If you can move me up the social ladder, I'm all yours!

#15 They are all about the backhanded compliment and probably don't even know it. Superficial people have absolutely no self-awareness, so a backhanded compliment is about as nice as they get. If they have something nice to say, it always has to be followed by something to squash you.

#16 They are all about the cause if they like the logo. Superficial people have no cause but to further themselves in some fashion. If they wear a logo for a cause, it is likely just because it is in fashion.

#17 You unfollow them or your phone goes off every two minutes with an update. A superficial person believes that the world revolves around them. Therefore, you want to see what they are having for lunch, what they are doing at all times, and want to know every second what their status is.

#18 They are always there with a handout. But when you actually need something, they are “totally busy… sorry!”

#19 Your problems irritate them. A problem is likely met with an eye roll and a signal that says “you waste my time with your insignificant problem.”

#20 If you aren't cool anymore, you're a ghost. If you can't further a superficial person, don't be surprised if they ghost you or can't be bothered being your friend anymore.

#21 You introduce yourself to them like 100 times. Why would they take the time to commit your name and face to memory? You aren't important, but in your defense, no one is.

#22 They come over to help and sit around watching you work, they're just there for the wine. If they are all about the “help” that is not helpful and all about drinking your wine while whining to you while you work overtime, then you met a superficial person.

#23 They don't have a laugh that is the same twice. Not even their laugh is real.

#24 They tell you things like “you know what you should do” or “why don't you just… ” Yep, they have the answers for everything, and it is always, “You aren't as smart as me so figure it out.”

#25 They never bring, they just expect you to pay. “Oops, did I forget my wallet again? I gotcha next time… ”

#26 Thank you isn't in their vocabulary. They're entitled, don't you know? They don't see a need to say thank you because they aren't grateful for anything. In their head, they are entitled. Just give them what they deserve and that doesn't deserve thanks.

#27 Everything you do is okay, whatever they do is amazing. Yep, a superficial person thinks they are the center of the universe, so everything they do is amazing. Whatever you do is mediocre at best.

#28 Whatever they do, you catch them posing, wink-wink. They're a poser. Poser all the way. It is all about keeping up appearances.

#29 They are always totally in and then bail last minute because something better came along. They are “so there” until it is time to be there and then they are nowhere to be found.

#30 They're always flexing. If they always try to show off, then they are all about the surface=superficial.

#31 They won't go outside without makeup or fully dressed. Not even to the mailbox or Walmart, gotta show everyone up 24/7.

#32 They never have a problem and everything in their life is awesome all day every day. Superficial people have the most wonderful life, beautiful spouse, wonderful kids, and the nicest everything. They are unable to admit they aren't perfect and neither is their world. Nope, every day for a superficial person is simply awesome.

#33 Everything they do has a purpose, and I mean everything. If they do something for you, you better mark it down. That means that you owe them in some way, shape, or form.

#34 Their phone is more important than anything. Don't try to compete with their phone, you won't ever win! Social media is way more important than your insignificant ass.

#35 They are irritated by a homeless person lying in the street because they had to walk around them. It is all about them. So, if you are going to lose a limb, it better not splatter blood on their outfit!

#36 You not only have to talk yourself up, but if you have kids, you are a one-man promotional band. Being superficial doesn't stop with just you, it emanates to everything you own, have, or produce, including the kids. They have to be just as superficial as you. If you can't go anywhere without dressing your children like they just walked out of the latest catalog, that screams “I am superficial.”

Superficial people are just as the name describes. They keep everything surface. Don't ever expect someone who is superficial to care as much about you as you do the least important person in your life. The only person that exists in a superficial person's life is them.

So, if you want to be friends with a superficial person, you better have a thick skin, be okay with being used, and ready to pose if you want to hangout.
