The term deep is fairly subjective actually, but in general terms, do you think too much? Do you feel too much? Have you been told "to not carry the weight of the world on your shoulders?" Or are you fairly happy-go-lucky, where the world's issues, family/friends' issues, and your own issues don't really bring you down? Or perhaps somewhere in the middle of both?

I'd say I'm very deep, and though I have a sense of humor, I am known for being a bit of a downer and I've been told that I think way too much. I have insomnia because I think too much in fact. :P

(Ironically, I have three options that will each give similar results. :P)

I've been told I think too much... and sometimes that turns me into a bit of a whiner. But I try my best to keep my whining amusing for those unlucky enough to hear it.

I'm pretty happy-go-lucky naturally. I prefer it that way as well.

If you are asking if I am over-analytical, have issues with forgetting the big picture because of the details, tend to forget about the practicalities of life in favor of delving into abstract thought, and enjoy statements that must be read multiple times in order to grasp what was said, then yes. If you are asking whether I worry about these things then absolutely not.

Because I am currently reading through John Calvin's Institutes of Christian Religion for fun does not mean I am a better Christian. It might very well be that I am, as the Scripture says, puffing myself up. It may very well be the case that you are more faithful to Jesus Christ than I am. :P But thankfully, we are not in competition with one another but are on the same side. ;)

More then on the same side, we are brothers and I've never even seen your face! :) And yeah, I just think its funny and mildly amusing when I tell my... more 'religious' Christian friends that I'm having doubts and they got all offended. I just tell em "sorry dude, I'm freaking human..." ;) (Btw, I'm not presuming you were/are similar to those friends of mine! :P)

I think I'm somewhat deep. I've been told that I have a gift with words and that I never do anything without first percieving the outcome of an event. Then again, those compliments were from family members of mine, and because they have some bias, who knows if they're right. :lol:

It might be that I am simply over-analytical in the way I think but I find it difficult to understand how someone claims to follow Christ and yet has never examined why he believes what he believes. While there is a point when the advice of "just have faith" has its merits, such a phrase is incredibly cliche and rarely actually helps a person. In other words, how can one be a Christian and not have faced a trial of faith? Must he not at some point respond by saying that he will trust in Christ rather than the things of this world? I have difficulties with Christians who do not understand these things in some form. But yes, perhaps it might be a blessing to you that your first true glimpse of me will be of my resurrected self. :P

Because humans are thinking beings. Well, at least I am. Perhaps you are all non-thinking automotons, or illusions created by a great deceiver, but it seems reasonable to me that the rest of humanity are thinking beings as well, so to think is to be in touch with our true essence.

All I can say is this...I try to be "deep" enough to constantly be aware of how shallow I am.

Deep? Shallow? I've known both kinds of people, and loved/respected/admired them greatly. What's a bigger turnoff for me, are people who think that they're hot **** who are doing the world a favor by simply being alive. Basically, fatheaded people who think they're better than everyone else. Those people might ACTUALLY be better than everyone else, or not. That doesn't concern me. What concerns me is that, regardless of whether or not it's true, they're ACTING like it's true. And...that's about the most annoying ****ing thing I've ever had to put up with.

And the wisest thing that Eddie Vedder ever said was this..."if you hate sooooooomething, don't you do it too." Seeing as how I absolutely hate when people act like that, I try not to act like that. I mean, if people who act like that piss me off, then why would I try to be like them?

Bottom line, even the stupidest of us sometimes do smart things and have deep thoughts, and even the deepest and smartest of us sometimes act like the most shallow person on the planet. Do those things apply to me? Absolutely. Sometimes I'm deep, sometimes I'm shallow. That doesn't concern me in the least. However, I am concerned with trying not to get a fat head and then thinking like I'm special and uniquely entitled. I don't care if I'm deep or shallow, I just try not to be a jerk (and even then, I often still fail at such a simple task).

Am I deep or shallow? Don't know, don't care.

So from what i researched, being deep considers one to be: Kind of complicated. Kind of reserved. Kind of quiet. Says only the relevant. Doesn't say more than needed. Thinks thoroughly. Considerate. Intelligent. Open minded. I got to say, I'm a pretty deep person but since i find Emma Watson very beautiful ill go for the last option!

I'm told by a lot of people that i have a very serious demeaner on my face. I believe i got this from my dad, cause he looks like his about to snap on someone even though he is nowhere near pissed.

As far as 'deepness' go. I guess only in two circumstances, introspection, and intimacy. With regards to intimacy, when i'm with someone i really care about - lets say girlfriend or possible spouse, i tend to get very strong attachments and see thing in the long haul, not in short sexual gratifying burst. I dunno i get a sense of guilt of using someone, and i don't like to think of a lover as a one-shot thing. I am the stereotypical dude the girls say they want, the guy who wants to stay.

introspection more or less something i do, i think about my own faults and what i could do better or be better or be simply at peace with whatever issue i may be thinking.

personally if I really think about it, I come to the conclusion that truly shallow people don't exist. There is always going to be some subject people are really passionate about and at the very least think they know a lot about. (aka deep doesn't necessarily equal intelligence)

When accusations about shallowness arrive ittends to be when there are zero subjects people care about are shared between two individuals. For instance when one person cares massively about fashion and another person couldn't care less, it doesn't mean either person is shallow. It simply means that that particular subject doesn't have meaning to one individual. Sure fashion may now affect the world in an overly significant way, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of depth and thought that goes into it.

edit. as far as myself goes I try to stick ot the brighter side of life. That doesn't mean I don't care deeply about things, it just means I'd rather enjoy life than be depressed or serious all the time.

I myself am not really a deep person. There's honestly very little to me. My life is rather dull and cushy and as you may expect that leads to a person who doesn't have any deep secrets or anything they aren't willing to show. I don't wear all my emotions on my sleeves, partially because I don't get emotional too easily. It takes something pretty heavy to make me actually mad and something that really strikes me to make me sad. When it comes to looks I expect people to present themselves well, but to embrace themselves for who they are as well. If you're ugly I don't expect you to cover it up or get plastic surgery. I expect you to remain clean and, if you can afford it, well dressed though. I honestly don't know if I would be willing to date a woman who isn't attractive who I really connected with on a personal level, the woman I've liked in the past were all fairly good looking. When it comes to thinking I certainly do too much of it. There's really nothing else to say for that other than probably half my waking life consists of problem solving matters that come to mind, whatever they may be.

Somewhere in the middle. Im not bothered by issues for some reason, which has led me to be thought of as selfish, i just see myself as logical. Ive never gotten stressed over anything really, so unless acceptance is considered deep, i am not.
