Seven Examples Of Superficial Behaviour
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The priority on looks over facts is known as superficiality. This word is always associated with a negative connotation. The behaviors listed below are only a few instances of what could be deemed superficial.

Insincerity

You’re saying things you don’t mean, for instance, charming others to acquire social or economic benefits.

Social Status

Social status is being preoccupied with what other people think rather than underlying realities like morals, relationships, self-fulfillment, and the human experience, such as forsaking a buddy because they have become disliked overnight.

Materialism

Materialism is the belief that physical objects are more important than immaterial things, someone who spends all of their time and energy thinking about shoes, for example. Intangible aspects of the human experience, such as interactions with people, are deemed “deeper” than physical items; hence this is sometimes criticized as superficial.

Biases

Biases are faulty judgments that are often inaccurate and unfair, making assumptions about people based on their appearance.

Posing

Posing is the act of appearing to be someone or something you are not. Posing can lead to favorable outcomes in some situations, according to a tactic known as “fake it till you make it,” which requires you to seem to fit in before you do. For example, when someone dances in front of others for the first time, they may act as if they know what they’re doing.

Virtue Signalling

Virtue signaling is trying to appear virtuous by expressing support for issues while doing little to alter the world truly. In its most extreme forms, virtue-signaling entails a self-righteous pointing out other people’s flaws or inadequacies to present yourself as morally superior.

Mediocrity

Mediocrity is a pitiful state in which people are primarily concerned with their safety, entertainment, comfort, and convenience. For fear of being socially excluded, the mediocre seek the group’s shelter and are highly concerned with being “normal.” As a result, they may avoid anything or anyone they consider outside their group.

When it comes to human behavior, the word superficial is associated with negativity, and conduct is a matter of opinion. One observer may believe that being exceedingly trendy is superficial. In contrast, another may see fashion as a valuable part of the human experience.

Social norms are the unwritten rules of a particular social group or culture. Visit this blog post to learn about various examples of social norms.
