Easily Impressed, Falls for Anything
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.”
- Alex Hamilton, British journalist
In a society with access to an almost-infinite number of distractions and shiny objects, and where superficial-mentalities run rampant, finding sincere, devoted and loyal friends or a partner can be a challenge.
On the other hand, living in such a society also makes it easy to spot sincere people, amongst all of the people who forget what they are doing or who they are with, the second someone figuratively yells, ‘Squirrel!"‘ or when a shiny object is on their radar.
Those who are easily-impressed likely fall for anything.
Falling-for-anything and being easily-impressed also fosters being spread out thin and mentally being all over the place. Getting such people to focus and to be present with you is like playing Wac-a-Mole with 5,000 moles (i.e. distractions and shiny objects): good luck!
People who fall-for-anything won’t stand up for their beliefs and surely won’t stand up for you. It’d be difficult for someone who is easily-impressed and who falls-for-anything to be sincere enough to be devoted to a relationship.
People who are easily-impressed don’t have much use for your or themselves having principles, ethics, integrity and high-standards, and aren’t going to value having just one person to invest in. Being devoted to, and investing in, one person would take the easily-impressed person away from having access to their almost-infinite buffet of distractions and shiny objects. Easily-impressed people don’t have to work at relationships because they get their needs met from easily-attained distractions and shiny objects.
Being in a relationship with an easily-impressed person could work for those who want to have a double-life type of relationship. If you’re not into a double-life type of relationship, but you’re already involved with an easily-impressed person, then just focus on keeping the peace, on your own well-being and figuring out where you fit in the relationship: somewhere in between the other person’s virtually 5,000 distractions a day.
