Do you sometimes feel different than other people?
This feeling might come from the fact that you have a unique perspective and notice certain things that other people miss. If that sounds like you, then you probably have a deep and complex personality, and you see the world with exceptional depth, where others don’t.
In modern society, where technology and automated sensational newsfeeds have taken over, curiosity, intelligence, and sophistication are rare. But these are the exact traits that help you carve your own path in life.
Since you’re a free thinker, the boxes crafted by society weren’t made for you, so it makes sense if you don’t fit inside them. While being a handcrafted original does have many benefits, social interaction can be tense for those who meet you.
If you’re still wondering whether or not you’re someone with a deep and complex personality, see if you can relate to the following signs.
1 – You Aren’t Afraid To Express Your Emotions
There are a lot of people who refuse to share their opinions and emotions out of fear of being criticized. Judgment from others can be terrifying, so they don’t speak up. But if you have a deep personality, that does not describe you.
Instead, you probably feel a strong urge to express how you feel even when you don’t share in the popular opinion. To you, keeping quiet or worse, agreeing with something you don’t believe, is superficial and unproductive.
Because you value authenticity, you develop meaningful connections much easier, and making a positive impact on someone comes naturally.
If you possess a complex personality, you also know how important it is to express yourself for who you are and ignore anyone who tries to make you into anything else.
2 – You Can’t Stand Insensitivity, Idiocy, Or Ignorance
People with deep and complex personalities are rarely ignorant, insensitive, or idiotic. And they hold other people to the same standard.
Since, in general, we have unlimited access to almost any information, staying connected, absorbing knowledge, and thinking for yourself can be easy if you value free thought.
So, when other people regurgitate half-baked opinions, judge others unjustly, or promote ignorance, it bothers you deeply. You value lifelong learning and basic human decency, and you probably help inspire others to hold themselves to higher standards as well.
3 – You Ask A Lot Of Questions
If you possess a curious mind that seeks understanding, people might describe you as skeptical or even nosey. You might ask questions to learn details about the people, places, and things around you, and you likely ask yourself questions that are hard to answer.
The flip side of being curious, though, is that your questions may come off as intrusive. When people don’t want to answer them, or can’t answer them, it’s okay to accept that you won’t get to the bottom of things in that conversation.
Even though your inquisitive nature may urge you to keep pushing, be aware of the other person’s boundaries and know that their choices aren’t meant to offend you.
4 – You Value Experiences More Than Material Things
Many people gain satisfaction from buying new things and acquiring fancy possessions. But if you have a deep and complex personality, material belongings are not that important to you
. So, you’re probably more interested in experiences, memories, and relationships than physical things.
To you, these intangible things build up a person’s character much more than their money or belongings.
5 – You Take Things To Heart
Since you feel things more deeply than other people, the words “too sensitive” and “overreacting” may be familiar.
People who say these things to you simply don’t understand you. Experiencing deep emotions helps you connect with others in a truly meaningful way, but it can also make you vulnerable.
If you have a complex personality, you welcome all of your emotions. Even though this means you will experience negative emotions like pain and grief more frequently, a wide range of emotional experiences boosts your soul and enriches your life.
