Why is everyone so shallow these days?!

At your age, not being somewhat shallow can lead to great life difficulties!. It took me a long time to realize that it takes a lot more than hard physical labor, a smile, and kindness to get you through life!. Love is nice, being caring is nice, and judging someone based upon their personality is nice, but they won't get you through life!. 90% of what it takes to survive is knowing the right people and money, because without these 2 things, everyone around you will either be asking for a handout, taking advantage of your kindness, using you to support themselves and so on!. It is very difficult to keep love flowing under these circumstances, especially when you have to choose whether to pay your electric bill, lend Billy $20 for medicine, or eat!. Money isn't everything, but without it everyone and their brother will be attacking you so much you won't have enough energy to see the brighter side of life, so it basically is everything!. Rarely do people grow out of being shallow, but often people grow into it after a few hundred hard knocks from life and a whole lot of experience of being taken advantage of by the many lazy bums in this society, who are usually the wealthiest, most powerful and most shallow of us all!. ;-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I'm 51 and I think we live in a very shallow culture!.

But, not everyone is like that, and when you are an adult you can make your own choices about who you associate with!.

I used to be a musician, it was mainly a hobby!. I was around a lot of shallow, self centered people when I was doing that!.

But my regular job is with a mental health agency!. I don't think my co-workers are shallow people at all!.

It really depends on what you do with your own life and who you hang around with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nothing we can do about it, sure people are shallow - i've suffered from their shallowness myself, but then I look at it from the point of view that people feel they deserve the best and there's no reason they shouldn't, so with regard to people dating only good looking people with the whole package - so those less fortunate just need to find something else to do with their lives!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You act as if this is a new development, it's not!. You've only just now realized it!.

I think a lot of it happens when people get out of high school and into the real world, and go through some hard times, emotionally and or financially and realize that so much crap in life is superficial and unimportant!.

And then there are others that will die with the same attitude!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone is always going to be shallow!. After the age of 16 everyone realises how hard life really is and then become these shallow people who just want to achieve!. But the people who didn;t work when they were kids just become shallow because they realise that there life is going to be crap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Did you know that 68% of all statistics are made up!? Seriously, where did you pull the figure 90% from!? I'd bet money that if actual research was done you'd find not even close to that number of people were truly shallow!.

Some people are though!. That's life and it always has been that way!. Deal with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
